One is rather inspired. OpenCon 2014 was a wonderful time bringing together the best minds in early career research and the 'world of open' to discuss how we make access to knowledge, data, and educational resources better for everyone. It wasn't so much an event*, as a milestone. Here's the story of its success.
I don't want to run through the basics of each aspect of open access, data, and education. Let me instead tell you instead about how we just marked a revolutionary point in making the fundamental right to research a reality. When I use the word 'publishers' through ...more

This truck load of sugar cane was one of many observed on this stretch of road from Antigua leading to a volcanic observatory around the volcano Fuego. Agriculture - notably sugar and coffee - in Guatemala is highly significant in many respects, bringing benefits such as exports and jobs. There are however other more hidden impacts, relating to the overall hazardscape of the region, exposure and vulnerability.
Many of the large-scale sugar plantations are on the flat coastal plains, between the Central American volcanic chain and the Pacific Ocean. Also on this land are many of the ...more
Laura and I both submitted our theses at the end of September after four years of intense work. We felt there'd be some value (nostalgic to ourselves, hopefully useful to others) in putting together some tips of our own now that we can look back on our achievements.
There are loads of brilliantly-written and extremely useful posts providing advice on the pastoral side of undertaking a PhD, such as developing your relationship with your supervisor and tips for improving your scientific writing. Laura put together a comprehensive series of posts entitled 'making the post of your PhD' earlier this year on ...more
Tl,dr version: I think we need more appropriate guidelines for live-tweeting conferences, specifically regarding the broadcasting of sensitive research. This should be at the discretion of the author, and ideally stated at the beginning of each talk.
Suzie Maidment, a colleague and friend of mine, recently started a major discussion on and off the internet with the following tweet: "I do think we need to have a discussion about live tweeting unpublished results & conclusions though. It's just not cool." (@Tweetisaurus)
The ensuing debate has lasted for four days now, and is on-going. Clearly, we need to have a discussion about live-tweeting ...more
Kick 'em Jenny is a submarine volcano located 8km to the north of the Caribbean island of Grenada. It lies close to the small, uninhabited volcanic islands of Ronde, Diamond, Ill Caille and Les Tantes, though no physical evidence of the volcano is evident from land.

At least twelve recorded eruptions have occurred since Kick 'em Jenny's discovery in 1939 (the last in 2001), and it is currently the most active volcano in the Lesser Antilles arc. Underwater surveys conducted over the last 50 years have demonstrated that the summit lies at a depth ...more
Below we've listed details of a session that will be of interest to many of you at the EGU General Assembly, in Vienna, next spring. Many postgraduates and academic staff from across the UK and beyond attend this event, sharing details of the latest research they have been doing. The convenors of this session, including GfGD Director Joel Gill and GfGD Leeds Ambassador Ekbal Hussain, are keen to gather those interested in natural hazards to share experiences relating to education, communications and policy/practice. If you're planning on attending EGU, why not submit an extra poster and get involved in what will be ...more
Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
A picture we've shared on this blog before - but well worth including in our Images from Guatemala series. Taken from Panajachel, and looking across to the volcanoes of Atitlan (right) and Toliman (left). The small mound in front of Toliman is known as Cerro de Oro.
The lake fills a significant caldera (volcanic crater), formed from an eruption known as the Los Chocoyos Eruption, dispersing volcanic material as far as Florida in the north and Ecuador in the south. The water level is currently rising, as evident from the many flooded houses and submerged trees along the shoreline ...more
The nights are drawing in, the air is getting colder and here in Bristol it seems like viva season is in full swing. Enough time has elapsed since my own viva that I thought I would share my thoughts about what to expect on the big day. Whilst everybody's experience is different, from talking to fellow alumni there do seem to be some common themes:
Your examiners are human. The main thing to remember is that the examiners really just want to have a stimulating and thought-provoking discussion, followed by a trip to the pub. It's also true to say that ...more
In my opinion, there aren't many finer ways to spend an autumnal afternoon than ambling round the historical suburb of Clifton in Bristol. Bounded to the west by the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Avon Gorge and the bucolic open downs of Clifton and Durdham, Clifton Village is a Bristol rarity, in only having been only partly subsumed by the neighbouring metropolis.
Clifton is home to many fine Georgian mansions, remnants of the development of a fashionable spa resort that sought to exploit the health properties believed to be present in the Hotwell spring water.
So if you're new to Bristol, or ...more
Volcanism, driven by plate tectonics, built Earth's atmosphere to make a habitable planet.
How is it that Earth developed an atmosphere that made the development of life possible? A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience links the origins of Earth's nitrogen-rich atmosphere to the same tectonic forces that drive mountain-building and volcanism on our planet. It goes some way to explaining why, compared to our nearest neighbours, Venus and Mars, Earth's air is richer in nitrogen.
The chemistry of the air we breathe is, at least partly, the result of billions of years of photosynthesis. Plant life has transformed our ...more
Well, it has been a while since either of us has produced a GeologyJenga post, so first of all apologies on this front. We both have the same excuse – finishing our PhD theses! Our mutual deadline was 30 September 2014, and thankfully we both made it. The last few months were challenging at times and we both agreed that the feeling upon submission is hard to describe: certainly wonderfully joyous, coupled the tremendous relief, but tinged with no small amount of surrealism! We intend to put together a more comprehensive piece in the near future outlining the positives (and ...more

Soil wind erosion is influenced by soil inherent properties, different wind characteristics and surface vegetation cover. For a better understanding of this process is necessary to explain the effect and consequences of wind erosion on the ground and especially in agricultural areas of southern, eastern and northern Europe. In fact, this process usually occurs very slowly and its impact on soil quality and productivity fails to be detected until several years later. In addition, conventional farming practices may mask long term wind erosion effects on productivity by the intense and deep soil ...more

Soil erosion is the removal of soil from cultivated land at a rate that is (much) higher than the rate that would occur under the natural vegetation at the considered site. Besides the loss of fertile topsoil, soil erosion entails the dissection of cultivated land by rills and gullies and the deposition of eroded soil material on roads, in residential areas, rivers, ponds, lakes and reservoirs, and it can be accompanied by flooding.
Guly erosion is the formation of gullies that are too deep to be removed by normal tillage. Gullies are formed in unconsolidated soil material. ...more
About a year ago I was asked to appear as a guest on a kids television show about rocks and minerals called Finding Stuff Out. I was asked to come an talk about rocks, minerals, geology in general and how I got interested in geology. The show is for 8-10 year olds and it is truly fantastic! It has a really interesting format where kids actually ask questions and the host, Harrison, answers them with the help of experts (me), goes to places to find the answers or does experiments. In the end the show concludes with an answer to ...more

Earlier this year my PhD supervisors and I (Daniel) had a paper accepted for publication in Earth-Science Reviews entitled 'Flood stratigraphies in lake sediments: A review' (Schillereff et al., 2014). It's been fairly popular in terms of downloads but it occurred to me the other day that many of those prospective readers may be put off somewhat by its hefty word count. Thus, putting together a shortened version outlining the main points and conclusions seemed wise!
The review stems from my PhD research investigating whether sediment cores extracted from UK lakes contain distinct layers deposited by severe floods that occurred in ...more
After a bit of an opinion hiatus I am back with the third geopoll. Every day I go to work at a university department filled with geologists. All of us are tackling different questions, but in the beginning we all started at the same place. Namely, not knowing anything about geoscience. In my conversations with colleagues over the years it appears that there is no single way to get into geology. We all entered the field from different avenues. For example, some people found it through a first year course, others, like me, started out as mineral and fossil collectors when they were ...more
This post unifies two of my absolutely favourite topics: geology and classical Greek history. I have always had a soft spot for the classics. In fact, when I started my undergrad I was planning on doing a double major of geology and classics. I decided to focus on geology, but I have not lost my love of ancient civilizations particularly the ancient Greeks and Romans.

In this week's post, Flo talks us through the basic workings of the European Commission and how EU policy relates to science and research.
While the great and the good of academia are reaping the benefits of international research collaboration at EGU this week, and with the upcoming European elections in May I thought it was worth trying to write something on the EC and science policy. Especially as today's theme at EGU was the role of geoscientists in public policy. Now I realise that I say 'untangling EU science policy' in the title but this is no mean feat!

One of the key strands of the EGU so far this year has been discussion of the proposed new geological time period known as the Anthropocene. This concept was first proposed by the ecologist Eugene Stoemer in the 1980's, with Nobel Prize Winner and atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen bringing renewed attention to the term in the early 21st Century. It refers to the concept that the impact of humans on our environment is worthy of its own epoch.
I attended the EGU press conference 'Are we living in the Anthropocene?' on Tuesday, where atmospheric chemist John Burrows presented work on how ...more

Britain's warm, wet winter brought floods and misery to many living across southern England, with large parts of Somerset lying underwater for months. When in January rainfall was double the expected average over wide areas, many people made cautious links between such extreme weather and global climate change. There were nay-sayers at the time but it now seems that there is evidence for those links.
Speaking at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting here in Vienna, Myles Allen, a professor of geosystem science at the University of Oxford, presented his take on the issue. At the gathering of more than 12,000 ...more
In order to understand past climate change and to better project future changes, we need to understand how humans disturbed the radiative balance of our planet. Aerosols are one component of this disruption. The final report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) physical science basis concluded that aerosols dominate the uncertainty in the total anthropogenic radiative forcing.
Radiative forcing refers to the change in the energy balance of the climate system; carbon dioxide traps energy within our atmosphere, which leads to a warming effect. Aerosols on the other hand stop sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth, which leads to less energy ...more
Floating pumice.

A team of scientists from the UK, the US, Australia and New Zealand have modelled the fate of a huge floating raft of volcanic rocks that formed in 2012 during a submarine eruption of a Pacific volcano.
Described in this month's edition of Nature Communications, they show how satellite images of the floating-rock raft's passage across the Pacific can be used to test models of ocean circulation. Their results could be used to forecast the dispersal of future pumice ...more

|Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Korean Tacos (Photo from A Year of Slow Cooking)
I confess I've never eaten Korean shredded beef tacos from a food truck, so I can't give an opinion on how authentic these Slow Cooker Korean Shredded Beef Tacos from A Year of Slow Cooking might be. But the ingredient list has brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ginger root, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and jalapeno, and I'm positive all those flavors have to taste amazing when they cook all day on low with a chuck roast. There's also a recipe for an Asian cabbage slaw to serve in the tacos.

I like it - wish the walls were thicker By Brad on 3/2/2011Brad wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI bought this as the sump for my 180 gallon tank. It's a good size - mine is actually larger than the stated dimensions. It's 36" long but closer to 18x18. The walls are not quite 1/4 thick and even with only 8" of water they are bowing out. Not a big deal with a sump but I would like it if they were 3/8". The plate that holds the return fittings is WAY too thin as well. I replaced mine with a scrap piece of 1/2" acrylic and it functions much better. The 1/8" piece that came with it quickly bowed and would not stay in place and kept falling down on top of the filter socks. Another good thing is it comes with schedule 80 fittings. Also know that the fittings are 1-1/4" so you have to get a reducer to fit your standard flex tube lines. Overall I think it's a good product for the money - but I would have paid a bit more for heavier material. I also like the fact that it is not over done with a bunch of dividers - leaves lots of options open for customizing and adding bulkhead fittings where needed.
There are no videos related to this product.

Hailing from an Italian clan that expressed adoration via edibles, Bellacelli Cupcakery's head baker whips together fresh local eggs, fruits, and dairy products to create desserts that land on doorsteps in recyclable packaging. Lollicakes emulate the makeup of their cupcake cousins, flaunting bite-size morsels speared on a stick to facilitate jabbing competitors at community bake sales. Peanut-butter filling bursts from the heart of Ted dark-chocolate lollicakes, topped with semisweet chocolate buttercream. Emilia confections mimic citrusy summer sips by marrying strawberry buttercream with lemon cake and candy, and white-russian fixings spike the adult-oriented Thad lollicakes, which are perfect for celebrating 21st birthdays or throwing at the ghosts of prohibition enforcers.

A globally recognized sweet shop, Beard Papa's converts traditional desserts into decadent, fresh-baked, hand-labored lovables. Their all-natural cream puffs exhibit a complex, crispy outer choux pastry packed with mouth-melting, fluffy whipped-cream custard derived from imported vanilla beans and hours of diligent daydreaming. Beard Papa's doughsmiths shun preservatives in favor of all-natural and organic ingredients, which, like library books, should be devoured immediately for optimal freshness. The original vanilla recipe was crafted in Osaka, Japan before migrating across oceans, continents, and dinner menus to sate sweet teeth worldwide.
Serving direct-trade beans from Seattle's Kuma Coffee microroasters, Starling fuels bustling bodies with the energy needed to tackle mornings and beyond. Traditional brewed coffee ($1.25–$2.00) awakens senses with a no-frills wallop, and the rich whip of a café mocha melds milk, espresso, and actual whips ($2.85–$3.60). Add yummy flavor shots ($0.50 each) such as toasted marshmallow, caramel, and blueberry to brews, or summon the spritely mouth-tickle of an italian soda ($2.65–$3.75). Starling Coffee also boasts an array of teas ($1.50–$2.25) and smoothies ($3.75–$4.30) that coat throat canals with viscous fruit serums. When inner rumbles beckon, pair drinks with breakfast sandwiches ($1.95–$3.95), grilled turkey sandwiches ($4), or bagels ($2.95) smothered in ham, cheese, and East Coast regrets.
With more than 845 locations, Jamba Juice proves to the masses that nutrition can be speedy and delicious. Since the beginning, the company?s product philosophy has revolved around choosing whole fruits and other natural ingredients over artificial flavorings, sweeteners, and preservatives. The menu is completely free of high-fructose corn syrup and trans fats, and it offers additional accommodations for vegan and gluten-free diets.
This naturalistic approach is fully realized in Jamba Juice's selection of smoothies. Made with 100% fruit juice, sherbet, and frozen yogurt, the frosty delights range from all-fruit smoothies such as Peach Perfection and Strawberry Whirl to more indulgent creamy treats, including Peanut Butter Moo'd, an enticing blend of peanut butter, bananas, nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, and milk chocolate. The lunch hour presents toasted bistro sandwiches and California Flatbreads that pack only about 320?420 calories each.
In addition to providing healthy eats to customers, Jamba Juice sponsors Team Up for a Healthy America. The initiative fights childhood obesity while encouraging fans to join the Team Up community of celebrities, athletes and other leaders committed to getting kids active?which they can do by visiting the main Jamba Juice website.
If the tongue-in-cheek staff bios, the colorful mission statement, or the laugh-filled video of its Bellevue store is any indication, Seattle Coffee Gear is run by happy folks. And why wouldn't it be? With two retail locations and a wealth of bright, accessibly written online resources, the company clearly loves coffee and has plenty of energy with which to share that passion. Should they choose, shoppers visiting the stores encounter interactive experiences. They can test over 80 espresso and coffee machine models, learn how to whip up the perfect latte, or put a leash around whatever floating cloud of frothed milk that they want to take home. The stores' new and refurbished gear ranges from simple electric kettles to restaurant-grade, multi-cup espresso machines. An on-staff team of technicians also maintains and repairs the machines that java fans bring in.

A bipartisan group of legislators has introduced a bill that would return 17-year-olds to the juvenile justice system if they are first-time offenders charged with non-violent crimes.
Wisconsin is one of only 11 states that automatically charges 17-year-olds in adult court.
"It's time for Wisconsin to be smart on crime," said state Rep. Garey Bies, R-Sister Bay, in a press release about the bill. "There is overwhelming research demonstrating that a 17-year-old in the adult system has a much higher rate of recidivism than their peers in the juvenile system. These kids should have a second chance to change the trajectory of their lives and become responsible adults."
Youth with adult criminal records are less likely to graduate from high school, have a difficult time finding employment, and face restrictions on access to higher education and military service, the release said. A cost-benefit analysis suggests that redirecting a youthful offender from further crime has a long-term benefit of $2.5 million to $5 million from reduced justice system costs and an increase in individual productivity.
"Ninety-eight percent of juvenile arrests in Wisconsin are for non-violent crimes," said state Senator Jerry Petrowski, R-Wausau. "Many of us know good people who did something regrettable when they were 17. Our focus should not be limited to holding these kids accountable for their actions, but to also help them improve their decision making skills so that they can get on the right path for future success and not become repeat offenders."
Since 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized and relied upon the research of adolescent development and ruled that youth should be treated differently under the law than adults.
"New research shows that at 17 years old, teenagers' brains are still very much developing in the crucial areas of impulse control and risk analysis," said state Rep. Frederick P. Kessler, D-Milwaukee. "Including children up to 18 years of age in the juvenile justice system would allow us to work with our youth throughout their most formative years to ensure that a childhood mistake doesn't turn into a lifelong strike against them."

IBEROSTAR Rose Hall Suites
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Rose Hall Suites
Bm says: over 1 year
"The staff at Iberostar Montego Bay were an absolute delight. I was especially pleased with the staff at the Breakfast Buffet. I would ask for a coffee to take back to my wife after completing my early morning swim each and everyday. The staff knew me after the first day and always had my take away coffee ready. The entire staff genuinely expessed delight in helping, regardless the nature of the request. The cleaning staff along with the Star Friends at the Suites, genuinely tried to delight the guests. I would definitely return to Iberostar Montego Bay and recommend it to others. Time well spent!!"Rating: 10,0
Vicki Helsley says: over 1 year
I would recommend that both the suites and Grand offer Bacardi rum, Captain Morgan rum, and some more America beers.
"I would highly recommend both the Iberostar Suites and the Grand Hotel. We were booked at the Suites the 1st night but realized that they didn't offer the rum that we prefer, so we upgraded to the Grand the next day. We had a fantastic time. The only thing I would tell people is to book their dinner reservation the minute they arrive, because all the later times where gone. We only got to enjoy the "Galleon" restaurant, it was spectacular. Both buffet restaurants had great food as well. These hotels and suites are beautiful. Plenty of activities if you want them or just relax and do nothing. The entertainment was wonderful too. This is my favorite all inclusive vacation so far and we have been to quite a few. "Rating: 10,0
N.M. says: over 1 year
"Hotel is beautiful. You can always see someone cleaning something. The staff, for the most part, is very friendly & helpful (I won't let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch). The food was good but there were not enough vegetarian options. There was a vegetarian station at the buffet for one night of our stay, but only one night. At the restaurants, the staff was very accommodating in getting a vegetarian meal for me even if one was not on the menu. The one main issue I had was regarding two of my children, ages 17 & 16. They were given children's bracelets and were, therefore, not allowed to use the gym facility or watch my two younger kids at the mini water park, but when it came to the restaurants, they were required to dress as adults. My 16 year-old didn't pack long pants so we had to buy him a pair at the hotel store. If you are going to treat them like children, fine but you really should be consistent and this should be clearly explained so that people can pack appropriately. It might be helpful to have another designation for teenagers. "Rating: 7,0
Matt And Lauren says: over 1 year
"The suites were BEAUTIFUL! The food was awesome, and the staff and entertainment was even more awesome! Went there for a honeymoon loved it would deff go back and refer a friend! There's shopping, and a mini casino in hotel loved it. I would suggest going to mystic mountain and dunes river falls!! Very fun. You can do snorkeling, kayaking, boat rides for free on beach. Lots of daily activities. Only two complaints one is there are no jet skis on the beach and two the tv would turn off randomly when we turned it on. Other than that this place was great! "Rating: 9,0

"Wonderful! Food was fabulous! Great service! Only reason I took off one star was that the restaurant reservations were very limited, we had difficulty getting to any. However the buffet was so good, it was fine. An improvement would be to have coffee in the lobby in the AM and/or WIFI in the restaurant! "Rating: 9,0

Re: Hoping I'm not the only bad person out there ...
People do the wrong thing all the time hoping to make whoever they're with happy. Bigger house, newer car, more kids, pets, more spending, etc.... And you know what; 99.9999999% of the time, whoever is doing the asking knows darn well what they're asking is selfish. They're just counting on love, fear of being alone, being whipped, or some other weakness that can be leveraged against common sense to get the yes.
I mean really, does anyone think OP only had to listen to DW prattle on about combining finances once before finally giving in?
IMO, OP should honestly say. "The whole combining finances thing doesnt work for me anymore. If you don't like it, tough crap". I disagree with doing the passive-aggressive hiding accounts thing.

ŌĆśTeaching the Cat to SitŌĆÖ by Michelle Theall
Posted on May 21, 2014 by Sara Rauch in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
Michelle TheallŌĆÖs new memoir, Teaching the Cat to Sit, brings some big topicsŌĆöGod, sexuality, abuse, loneliness, love, familyŌĆöto the page. ItŌĆÖs a rocky ride, full of contentious conversations, frank disclosures, and plenty of struggle.
'The Tastemaker: Carl Van Vechten and the Birth of Modern America' by Edward White
Posted on May 18, 2014 by Jennie Rathbun in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
There is an odd shadow that falls over the posthumous reputation of anyone who once excelled at what posterity deems, spitefully, too many different things. This fate can afflict the living, as well: think of Hollywood stars who take up novel-writing. It is difficult to fully suppress oneŌĆÖs feeling that such people should be satisfied with the fame they already have.┬Ā An air of greed hangs over their output. Carl Van Vechten, the protean subject of Edward WhiteŌĆÖs wonderful new biography, would surely be chagrined if he could see how thoroughly his novels, best-sellers in the 1920s, have been forgotten since his death exactly half a century ago. WhiteŌĆÖs biography proves conclusively and entertainingly his contention that ŌĆ£the man is simply too contradictory to slot snugly into the established narrative of the American Century.ŌĆØ He was a critic, a reporter, an essayist, a novelist, a photographer and above all, a cultural impresario. His diminished fame is a victim of his own multifaceted career that spanned the first half of the twentieth century. This engaging, well-researched biography should change all that.
Carl Van Vechten was born in 1880 to a prosperous Cedar Rapids family. His parents, Charles and Ada, early champions of civil rights, insisted that their children address their gardener as Mr. Oliphant and their laundry maid as Mrs. Sercey. ŌĆ£Beneath his carefully managed image of the sophisticated iconoclast Van VechtenŌĆÖs moral exemplars were his parents, whose bold stand on race relations kick-started his interest in African-American culture.ŌĆØ In 1906 Van Vechten moved to New York City, where he would live the rest of his life. He became the music critic for The New York Times, and was the first American critic of modern dance, promoting the careers of Isadora Duncan, Loie Fuller and Anna Pavlova. In fact, he had an unparalleled talent for finding and publicizing all types of artists, both those emerging and those unjustly forgotten. He helped revive Herman MelvilleŌĆÖs reputation as well as launching the careers of Gertrude Stein, Ronald Firbank, Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Josephine Baker and George Gershwin, among many others. During the 1920s he published seven popular novels with Alfred A. Knopf, beginning with Peter Whiffle: His Life and Works, and including The Blind Bow-Boy, ŌĆ£a masterpiece of camp,ŌĆØ Parties, and Nigger Heaven. He befriended and promoted most of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance, introducing white America and Europe to a vibrant indigenous art that captivated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The bookŌĆÖs epigraph, a quote from its subject, perfectly encapsulates his correct belief that ŌĆ£Americans are inclined to look everywhere but under their noses for art.ŌĆØ At the beginning of the twentieth century, art and culture belonged to Europe. Three decades later Van VechtenŌĆÖs indefatigable promotion of American art–in particular, black music and dance–had earned America a permanent place in the cultural firmament.
In 1930 he published Parties, his last and best novel, before setting fiction aside. The following year the Cuban illustrator Miguel Covarrubias returned from Europe with a Leica camera. When he showed it to his friend, Van Vechten quickly became obsessed with a new hobby. He set up a darkroom and portrait studio in his apartment and began photographing an endless procession of the centuryŌĆÖs most brilliant people, including Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miro, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, W. Somerset Maugham, Gertrude Stein, Billie Holiday, Salvador Dali and Diego Rivera, to name but a few.┬Ā He had a gift for putting his subjects at ease and his skill as a portrait photographer earned him the admiration of such acknowledged masters as Alfred Stieglitz and Man Ray. Today most of his photographs are housed at Yale University and the New York Public Library.
His personal life was no less complicated than his professional one. His second marriage, in 1914 to actress Fania Marinoff, lasted fifty years, mainly because Marinoff was willing to share her husband with a succession of younger men. White stops short of claiming Van Vechten was exclusively homosexual: ŌĆ£He was able to feel physically attracted to certain women, but his sincere need for female companionship was much more emotional than physical.ŌĆØ Nor does the author gloss over Van VechtenŌĆÖs less appealing attributes, among which were a jaw-dropping degree of self-absorption, childishness and possessiveness toward the artists whose careers he helped launch. At the same time, White demonstrates that very often it was precisely Van VechtenŌĆÖs character flaws that fueled his remarkable achievements. His outsized appetite for reflected glory led him to discover and publicize many of the last centuryŌĆÖs most talented people. After meeting twenty-three-year-old Langston Hughes at an awards ceremony, he sent to Alfred Knopf the manuscript of his first poetry collection. He suggested an order for the poems and the title The Weary Blues, and within two weeks Hughes had his first book contract. Although Van Vechten could all too often be obnoxiously insistent on linking his name to the artists he discovered, his crucial role in gaining recognition for AmericaŌĆÖs autochthonous modernism more than makes up for that. The Tastemaker is essential reading for anyone interested in how America emerged from the cultural shadow of Europe in the last century.

'Hold Tight Gently: Michael Callen, Essex Hemphill and the Battlefield of AIDS' by Martin Duberman
Posted on March 22, 2014 by Theodore Kerr in Bio/Memoir, Nonfiction
Erasure is a central concern when it comes to representations of AIDSŌĆöbe it in the face of hegemonic narratives, or absence. Historian Martin Duberman addresses this in his new book, Hold Tight Gently: Michael Callen, Essex Hemphill and the Battlefield of AIDS (The New Press, 2014). A dual biography, the book profiles Michael Callen and Essex Hemphill, both gifted, successful, HIV+ gay men who came of age in the Reagan years and with the onset of AIDS in America. The primary difference between the two being Hemphill was black and Callen was white, a fact that did not save either from needlessly early deaths, but one that does impact how they lived and how they are remembered.

'The End of Eve' by Ariel Gore
Posted on March 10, 2014 by July Westhale in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
ŌĆ£I remembered what my friend China wrote in her punk parenting zine when we were young moms. ŌĆśI want to be the female Bukowski, the female Burroughs, but instead IŌĆÖm just the female.ŌĆÖ In that elevator right then, I felt like such the femaleŌĆöthe caregiver.ŌĆØ –Ariel Gore, The End of Eve
In this illuminating new release by Ariel Gore, prolific writer and editor of Hip Mama Magazine, the entire concept of caretaking between female relations is brought to the forefront. Chronicling her years spent caregiving for her mother, Eve, as she declined with stage IV lung cancer, Gore manages to hit on all cylinders of the complex ambivalence of love and relationships. In this memoir, the reader obtains access to a nontraditional narrative of caretaking: Gore takes on the task of seeing her mother through her dying days, while also confronting cycles of abuse and manipulation in their relationship.

'The Tooth Fairy' by Clifford Chase
Posted on March 9, 2014 by Alex Tunney in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
A fat dog overjoyed with the plastic steak in its mouth. How Neil Young sounds like an alley cat. People-watching on the subway. Overheard snippets of conversations. The PR job, full of positive words, thatŌĆÖs starting to bring him down after fifteen years. The pills he must now take to maintain his body. An eight year relationship yet no shared apartment. These are some of single-sentence paragraphs of stray observations and journal notes that build up to a portrait of the uneasy stasis that is Clifford ChaseŌĆÖs life in New York City during the early months of 2001.

'Eating Fire: My Life as a Lesbian Avenger' by Kelly Cogswell
Posted on March 3, 2014 by Sarah Burghauser in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
From a dank upstairs room in New YorkŌĆÖs LGBT Center to marches on the streets of Paris, Kelly Cogswell takes us deep between the pages of the Lesbian Herstory Archive and between the frames of the documentary, Lesbian Avengers Eat Fire, Too, to bring us her insights and memories of the influential and fierce international grassroots outfit.
Cogswell was among the founding members of the New York City based lesbian action group, The Lesbian Avengers, which turned into one of the most important, vociferous movements on the queer liberation front. In her memoir, Cogswell details the assembly, growth, and eventual demise of the legendary dyke activist collective.
She describes this accomplished and diverse assembly of women ready to get down to business. At ŌĆ£the first Avengers meeting,ŌĆØ she admits, ŌĆ£I was really just there to be among girls, and to find out if I belonged. I wanted to. Anybody would.ŌĆØ The matter of belonging or not, reoccurs throughout the book both in personal and in larger political contexts. It is this anxiety around belonging that is evident not only CogswellŌĆÖs persistent questions about who or what is a citizen, but also in the disintegration of the Avengers.
The story begins with the groupŌĆÖs heyday when, as Cogswell writes, ŌĆ£ŌĆ"the Avengers were running like the well-oiled machine you hear so much about and almost never seeŌĆ" It was like magicŌĆ"ŌĆØ The description of the iconic moment, when, at a demonstration in memory of two queers burned alive in their home in Oregon, a line of Avengers lit torches on their tongues and then extinguished the flames in their mouths, is nothing short of electrifying: ŌĆ£We raised our flames triumphantly into the air, leaned back, and swallowed them down. The crowd cheered, a little uncertainly, at watching a circus trick transformed into a sacrament.ŌĆØ
As the group continued to grow, spread their message, share their skills, and build community around actions, racial and cultural misunderstanding, in-fighting, and horizontal hostility brought the group to a slow crumble. The diverse membership began accusing one another of being racist, classist, exclusive, unforgiving, manipulative, and worse. The presumption of goodwill was non-existent. Through a series of coalitions and new branches, the Avengers struggled to maintain their cohesive identity as ŌĆ£a direct-action group focused on issues vital to lesbian survival and visibility.ŌĆØ
As a way to contextualize these tensions, Cogswell relays an encounter on a Brooklyn subway soon after she shaved her head. ŌĆ£ŌĆ"A bunch of black men surrounded me on the train once, asking, ŌĆśHappy about Bensonhurst, you racist skinhead?ŌĆÖ Until one guy finally said, ŌĆśItŌĆÖs just her ŌĆśdo, man, like that singer,ŌĆÖ and they moved offŌĆ"ŌĆØ This incident highlights the ways that difference (in this case CogswellŌĆÖs shaved head) are read and misread and how identifiers shift meaning depending on the context. Later in her story, Cogswell encounters similar questions as she struggles to unravel what it means to be a citizen of the United States, or of anywhere else for that matter.
Eating Fire is a reminder, an homage, a call to rally, and a plea to this generation of queer women. Change, Cogswell seems to insist, is not only not a process any of us can afford to sit out, but that our participation as women, as queers, as immigrants, as people of color, is fundamental to our collective freedom.
This book swells with astute observations about what the Internet did to and for activism and the difficulty of creating movements that are at once diverse and community-specific. While the book leaves us with more questions than answers about how we should proceed toward liberation, it does gesture toward two possibilities.
First: eat fire. While the Lesbian Avengers actually did this as part of demonstrations, eating fire also provides a powerful metaphor not only for the total bravery of acting, but also the physical and spiritual demands of those actions.
Secondly: return home. Done without an ounce of sentimentality, Cogswell provides a shard of hope in her final recalling of a trip back to Kentucky where she meets a small group of young queer locals: ŌĆ£We stared at each other in mutual awe. They thought it was cool I was living in New York and had been a Lesbian Avenger and had made it as far as Paris. I was impressed that they were still at home. In Kentucky. Smack-dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.ŌĆØ This homecoming leaves readers with the feeling that belonging and being seen are possible.
While this story is tenacious in some moments and vulnerable in others, it is always triumphant.
Inspiring and absolutely heroic. This story belongs to us all.

'In Bed With Gore Vidal: Hustlers, Hollywood, and the Private World of an American Master' by Tim Teeman
Posted on February 3, 2014 by Jennie Rathbun in Bio/Memoir, Reviews
A really good biography is a gateway drug that sends readers immediately in search of more works on and by its subject. For those unfamiliar with Gore Vidal, Tim TeemanŌĆÖs book should trigger an irresistible urge to learn more about the life and literary output of the brilliant controversial writer who died in 2012 at 86. At the time of his death Vidal had been in lamentable condition for years, demented and alcoholic, mourning the loss in 2004 of Howard Austen, his companion for over half a century. When asked how their union had lasted so long, Vidal said the secret was simple: they didnŌĆÖt have sex with each other: ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve always made a point: never have sex with a friend.ŌĆØ The biography supplies so many more examples of VidalŌĆÖs ornery provocative statements that reading it feels a bit like sitting next to him at a drunken dinner partyŌĆömaddening sometimes, but still an experience one would regret missing.

Rick Perry to Congress: You Suck!by Free Britney at . Comments
Rick Perry is not a fan of Congress, or those who serve in it.
It's unclear if this is an issue that strikes a chord with the average voter, but Perry is pushing hard for his part-time Congress idea in his latest Iowa advertisement.
The ad features pics of Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, all of whom serve or have served in Congress (guess Mitt Romney is exempt from this one) as a narrator asks, "If Washington's the problem, why trust a congressman to fix it?"
Rick feels he's "Strong" enough to do it, that's for sure.
Wonderful pionts made here. As long as the Likes/Dislikes on the laughably-weak 'Strong' are still there, let's get the Dislikes past the 1 million mark, shall we? Check us out on Facebook, too!

Jul 27, 2014This. movie. was. so. horrible. I don't care if im giving spoiler alerts, the movie sucked. Everything about it sucked more then your mom. I don't even give it a score. The whole thing was just horrible. The movie took place in the same god damn room for an hour and a **** half. Mike died in the end anyways. SO WHATS THE POINT. jesus Christ. I watched this online and afterwards threw my computer out the window. I then bought a new computer to order the movie online and then burn it. I have no respect for Stephen king now. I have no respect for anything. I'm angry at the world. And your mom because she missed my calls. AND ESPECIALLY YOU GARRISON. **** YOU FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS HELL.… Expand
Even with its flaws, 1408 deserves to be appreciated by connoisseurs of acting and bravura filmmaking.

EAST RUTHERFOD, N.J. – Last week it was the defense. This week, the offense took center stage in yet another loss by the New York Giants, this one coming to the San Francisco 49ers, 16-10. Continue reading »
It's hard to believe that the Giants are still alive for a playoff berth at 3-6. Seven games remain. Does anyone really believe that they can run the table?
Not if they continue to "play defense" like they did last week in Seattle.
The 49ers saved their season with their desperation OT win last week in New Orleans. Playing well coming off such an emotional win will not be easy. Continue reading »
The quote from defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul pretty much sums up the New York Giants' 2014 season.
Let us set the stage for you. It is the postgame locker room where the Giants, now 3-6 following their fourth consecutive loss, this one a 38-17 affair to the Seattle Seahawks that the Giants actually led 17-14 at the half.
Pierre-Paul, who earlier in the week had questioned whether his teammates had the heart to be successful in this game, was asked if defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, whose run defense had been gashed for 149 rushing yards in the game's first 30 minutes, made any adjustments.
His response?
"I don't know. I was in the bathroom."
Just like the Giants' 2014 season. Continue reading »
At the halfway point of the season, the Giants are teetering on the abyss.
A win this week keeps them somewhat relevant; a loss and they can just take their ball and go home. Continue reading »

November 28, 2014
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Former President George W. Bush is holding his annual mountain bike ride for U.S. military members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This year's three-day ride is being held at Bush's Crawford ranch in Central Texas. Bush has planned a news conference on Friday, the second day of the Warrior 100K, a 100-kilometer ride.
Sixteen current and retired members of the military are taking part in the ride.
This is the fourth year that Bush has hosted the event.
The race is part of the Military Service Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute. The institute is housed at the George W. Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. The center, which opened a year ago, also includes Bush's presidential library and museum.

ABSTRACT: Background: Endothelin (ET) plays an important role in many physiological functions. It has been demonstrated that endogenous ET-1 concentration in the central nervous system (CNS) changes with age; however the ontogeny of ETA and ETB receptors in the brain, heart, and kidneys during postnatal development has not been studied. Methods: Brains, hearts and kidneys of rats at postnatal days 1, 7, 14 and 28 were evaluated for the expression of ETA and ETB receptors via Western blot. ETB receptors within the developing brain were further accessed via immunofluorescence. Results: The mean organ and body weights increased proportionally with advancing age demonstrating normal growth. The expression of ETA receptors in the brain, heart, and kidneys and ETB receptor expression in the heart and kidneys was similar in these rats at postnatal ages 1, 7, 14 and 28days. However, brain ETB receptor expression significantly (P<0.001) decreased by 72% on day 28 compared to the levels on postnatal day 1. Upon immunofluorescent analysis, the intensity of ETB staining in the cerebral cortex and subventricular zones of the developing rat brain decreased significantly from day 1 to day 7 (P<0.001) and from day 7 to day 14 (P<0.0001). There was no further decrease in ETB intensity noted in the cerebral cortex and subventricular zones between day 14 and day 28 of postnatal age. The intensity of ETB receptor staining within the cerebrovasculature, on the other hand, increased significantly (P<0.05) from days 1 and 7 to day 14. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that expression of ETA receptors does not change with postnatal development. On the other hand ETB receptors in the cerebral cortex and subventricular zones of the brain decrease with age, while ETB receptors in the cerebrovasculature increase with age, implicating ETB receptor involvement in the structural maturity and development of the CNS.Brain & development 05/2014; · 1.74 Impact Factor
Article: Endothelin B Receptor Agonist, IRL-1620, Enhances Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis Following Cerebral Ischemia in Rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Endothelin B receptor agonist, IRL-1620, has been shown in previous studies, conducted in our lab, to provide significant neuroprotection at both 24 hours and 1 week following permanent cerebral ischemia. It is possible that IRL-1620 may be neuroprotective due to angiogenesis and neurogenesis. However, the effect of IRL-1620 on neurovascular remodeling following cerebral ischemia has not been established. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of IRL-1620 [Suc-[Glu9,Ala11,15]-Endothelin-1(8-12)] on astrocytes, neurons, and vascular endothelial cells after induction of cerebral ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) received three intravenous injections of either vehicle or IRL-1620 at 2, 4, and 6 hours post occlusion. At 24 hours post occlusion, IRL-1620 treatment preserved neuronal numbers in the cortex, striatum and subventricular zone (SVZ) of the ischemic rat brain, while simultaneously enhancing the number of blood vessels labeled with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) compared to vehicle treatment. By 1 week following MCAO, VEGF-positive vessels/30µm brain slice in the IRL-1620 group numbered 11.33±2.13 versus 4.19±0.79 in the vehicle group (P<0.01). Additionally, animals receiving IRL-1620 displayed increased number of proliferating cells (P<0.0001) and cells positively staining for nerve growth factor (NGF; P<0.0001) in the infarcted brain. VEGF and NGF protein expression significantly increased at 1 week post MCAO in the infarcted hemisphere of IRL-1620 treated rats as compared to sham (P<0.01). Pretreatment with BQ788 blocked the effects of IRL-1620, thus confirming the role of ETB receptors in the neurovascular remodeling actions of IRL-1620. Results of the present study indicate that IRL-1620, administered on the day of infarct, is neuroprotective and enhances angiogenic and neurogenic remodeling following cerebral ischemia.Brain research 07/2013; · 2.46 Impact Factor
Article: Endothelin B receptor agonist, IRL-1620, provides long-term neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia in rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have earlier shown that stimulation of endothelin B receptors by IRL-1620 provides significant neuroprotection at 24h following cerebral ischemia. However, the effect of IRL-1620 is not known in the subacute phase of cerebral ischemia, where development of cerebral edema further contributes towards brain damage. This study was designed to determine the effect of IRL-1620 on neurological functions, infarct volume, oxidative stress, and endothelin receptors following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion for 7 days. Rats received three intravenous injections of either vehicle or IRL-1620 [Suc-[Glu9,Ala11,15]-Endothelin-1(8-12)] at 2, 4, and 6h post occlusion. Treatment with IRL-1620 reduced infarct volume (54.06 ± 14.12 mm(3) vs. 177.06 ± 13.21 mm(3)), prevented cerebral edema and significantly improved all neurological and motor function parameters when compared to the vehicle-treated group. Vehicle-treated middle cerebral artery occluded rats demonstrated high levels of malondialdehyde and low levels of reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase; these effects were reversed in IRL-1620 treated rats. No change in expression of endothelin A receptor was observed 7 days after induction of cerebral ischemia in vehicle or IRL-1620 treated rats. Rats receiving IRL-1620 demonstrated an upregulation of endothelin B receptor only in the infarcted hemisphere 7 days following occlusion. All effects of IRL-1620 were blocked by endothelin B receptor antagonist, BQ788. Results of the present study demonstrate that IRL-1620, administered on day 1, provides significant neuroprotection till 7 days after the induction of cerebral ischemia in rats. Selective endothelin B receptor activation may prove to be a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of cerebral ischemia.Brain research 05/2012; 1464:14-23. · 2.46 Impact Factor

Article: Endothelin B receptor agonist, IRL-1620, reduces neurological damage following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Endothelin and its receptors have long been considered therapeutic targets in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Recent studies indicate that ET(B) receptors may provide both vasodilatation and neuroprotection. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selectively activating the ET(B) receptors following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. IRL-1620 [Suc-[Glu9,Ala11,15]-Endothelin-1(8-12)], a highly selective ET(B) agonist, was used alone and in conjunction with BQ788, an ET(B) antagonist, to determine the role of ET(B) receptors in cerebral ischemia. Rats were assessed for neurological deficit and motor function, and their brains were evaluated to determine infarct area, oxidative stress parameters, and ET receptor protein levels. Animals treated with IRL-1620 showed significant improvement in all neurological and motor function tests when compared with both vehicle-treated and BQ788-treated middle cerebral artery occluded groups. In addition, there was a significant decrease in infarct volume 24h after occlusion in animals treated with IRL-1620 (24.47±4.37mm(3)) versus the vehicle-treated group (153.23±32.18mm(3)). Blockade of ET(B) receptors by BQ788 followed by either vehicle or IRL-1620 treatment resulted in infarct volumes similar to those of rats treated with vehicle alone (163.51±25.41 and 139.21±15.20mm(3), respectively). Lipid peroxidation, as measured by malondialdehyde, increased and antioxidants (superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione) decreased following infarct. Treatment with IRL-1620 reversed these effects, indicating that ET(B) receptor activation reduces oxidative stress injury following ischemic stroke. Animals pretreated with BQ788 showed similar oxidative stress damage as those in the vehicle-treated group. No significant difference was observed in ET(B) receptor levels in any of the groups. The present study demonstrates that ET(B) receptor activation may be a novel neuroprotective therapy in the treatment of focal ischemic stroke.Brain research 09/2011; 1420:48-58. · 2.46 Impact Factor
Article: Repeated administration of ET(B) receptor agonist, IRL-1620, produces tachyphylaxis only to its hypotensive effect.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: IRL-1620, a highly selective ET(B) receptor agonist, is presently in a phase I clinical trial (NCT00613691) in the United States for patients with recurrent or progressive carcinoma. The effect of acute repeated administration of IRL-1620 on the development of tachyphylaxis to changes in blood pressure, heart rate and blood flow (renal and cerebral) has not been studied. The present studies were conducted in urethane anesthetized rats to determine the cardiovascular effects of acute repeated intravenous administration of IRL-1620. In order to determine the tachyphylactic effect, each dose of IRL-1620 was administered at 0, 60, and 120min. It was found that IRL-1620 did not significantly affect heart rate. IRL-1620 produced a transient fall in blood pressure. A fall in mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 35.47% with 1.6microg/kg, 38.87% with 5.0microg/kg and 28.04% with 15.0microg/kg dose of IRL-1620 was observed. Repeated administration of a low dose (1.6microg/kg, i.v.) of IRL-1620 produced a fall in MAP but no tachyphylaxis was observed. However, repeated administration of IRL-1620 (5.0microg/kg, i.v.) produced a fall in MAP of 40.12%, 29.15%, and 21.61% with the first, second and third injections, respectively. IRL-1620 produced a consistent decrease in renal blood flow and increase in cerebral blood flow without any evidence of tachyphylaxis. Pretreatment with ET(A) antagonist BMS187824 (5mg/kg, i.v.), followed by three doses of 5microg/kg IRL-1620 at 60min intervals eliminated the development of tachyphylaxis to the transient hypotension, confirming the involvement of the ET(A) receptor in tachyphylactic development. The findings indicate development of tachyphylaxis to IRL-1620 only to the fall in blood pressure when given repeatedly at mid-high doses, while the decrease in renal and increase in cerebral blood flow were not affected with regards to tachyphylactic development.Pharmacological Research 09/2009; 60(5):402-10. · 4.35 Impact Factor

807,000 iPods sold, up more than 900 percent
MacMinute reports that Apple on Wednesday posted a net profit of US$46 million, or 12 cents a share, for its fiscal 2004 second quarter ended March 27, 2003. These results compare to a net profit of $14 million, or 4 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Revenue for the quarter was $1.909 billion, up 29 percent from last year. Apple said it shipped 749,000 Macs and 807,000 iPods during the quarter, representing a 5 percent increase in CPU units and a 909 percent increase in iPods over the year-ago quarter. "Apple had a great quarter with 29 percent revenue growth and 200 percent earnings per share growth year-over-year," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. "We experienced growth in most areas of our business-most dramatically in selling a record 807,000 iPods, up more than 900 percent over the prior year."

"Gross margin was 27.8 percent, down from 28.3 percent in the year-ago quarter."
This is not good, and isa recipe for disaster. The aim of every high-tech company is to grow margins along with revenues, to pay for increased R&D.
