Miss Adams: Crested Moss Rose
Although women were prodigious botanical illustrators, unless they published books of their own such as Anne Pratt or Elizabeth Blackwell, they seem often to be known simply by their last names. In this case, a Miss Adams contributed this illustration of a crested moss rose for use in an 1836 issue of Botanical Magazine. The rose had been discovered in Switzerland in 1827.
In contrast to the engraving technique of stippling, this engraving uses lines, as shown in the detail at right.
The crested moss rose, Rosa x centifolia cristata, is still widely cultivated. Voters at HelpMeFind rate the rose "Excellent" -- possibly because of its strong fragrance and hardiness. It blooms just once each year for a few weeks in spring or summer.

At Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle blog-inspired pop-up shop currently open in Los Angeles' Brentwood Country Mart, you can buy a custom (for Goop, not for you) $620 knit heather-grey Stella McCartney jumpsuit, $650 vintage "found" serving spoons, a set of four cocktail napkins for $125 (with optional monogram), a $2,350 vintage Christian Dior Backgammon set, and a book called Within: A Spiritual Awakening to Love & Weight Loss.
The jeans are skinny, the tops are billowy, the fabrics are naaaahtural, and the price tags are hidden. One of those "if you have to look, you can't afford it" things, no doubt. There was a pile of unassuming beaded bracelets on the desk in the front of the store, pointedly outside the artfully displayed glass class holding the more precious jewels. They looked like the kind of things you might find in a Bangkok street market. At Goop? They ranged in price from "5 to 7….hundred dollars," according to the delicate sales girl.
Is it silly? Yes. Tasteful? Painfully so. Pretty? If beige tones are your thing, probably. Excessive? For most tax brackets, uh, yes.

Horrigan Jr. at a "Pride in Tobacco" luncheon here, the multlmillion-dollar campaign will evoke nostalgic memories, trumpet the regional economic benefits of tobacco growing and use induztry-sponsored health atud~es to discount any link between cancer and smoking.

(a barbecue) and other Southern niceties. For many of the 63 auctioneers competing in the contest, Riggs was the flamboyant idol of their youth, the kind of celebrity shown~an they dreamed of becoming themselves some day. Auctioneer Hugh G. Pate, who hails from Riggs' hometown of Goldsboro, N.C., recfilis that at'ter Riggs began doing Lucky Strike ads for the American Tobacco Co. in 1938, 'q~e oame back home in that big car. I sa/d to myself, 'Man, t.hat's what I want to do.' At one time or another, all tobacco auctioneers want to be like Speed Riggs." Just about all of them now use some var/ation of the rhythndc chant that Riggs invented to re- place the choppy, staccato litany that previously had been employed to announce buyers' bids at ware- house auctions. "When I was 14, growing up on my father's tobacco farm, I began mimicking the staccato style," Riggs recalled recentiy. "Some- thing kept telling me it could be done differently or faster to keep up with the increasing sales. "One day I happened to he hum- ruing, 'Yankee Doodle, doodle doedah, doodle do-do-do-do, dum, do, dura .... ' and that's how I developed the chant allowing me to speak at the ra~e of 4~ words per minute," the world's fastest clip.

Bill O'Reilly Fails at Science and Becomes a Meme - You Can't Explain That!
- topic:
- Humor
- New Trend
- News / Politics
- Photos
Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly recently tried to prove the existence of God with the now-infamous line, "Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain why the tide goes in." As anybody with a rudimentary understanding of science is aware, the tides go in and out because of the moon and something called "gravity."
Naturally, a whole lot of people -- from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to seemingly the entire internet -- mocked O'Reilly for his comments. O'Reilly, rather than admit that he had given one of the shabbiest pro-creationist arguments of all time, tried to defend himself by saying,
Okay, how'd the moon get there? Look, you pinheads who attacked me for this, you guys are just desperate. How'd the moon get there? How'd the sun get there? How'd it get there? Can you explain that to me? How come we have that and Mars doesn't have it? Venus doesn't have it. How come? Why not? How'd it get here? How did that little amoeba get here, crawl out there? How'd it do it?
Of course, other planets DO have moons, which doesn't help O'Reilly's science cred one bit. The internet, of course, responded with an image meme featuring O'Reilly acting puzzled over simple, everyday things and responding "You can't explain that!"
Check out the original O'Reilly clip and our favorite images from the meme below.

You can't explain that!
hot on the web

By Joe says; ''How else would it be decided who stands where?''. If there is a god, And I'm not saying there isn't, why does it have to be decided who stands where? If god is perfect then he can make everything perfect and noone would ever commit evil. Do you think he stands outside while ''allowing'' us to commit evil and gets a charge out of it? Man keeps giving God human strengths and weaknesses and all the time saying he is better than us.
I believe that god was created in our image rather than the other way around because of our fears and conceits. Something created us but it certainly isn't the ''God'' that most people think of. Muslims, Christians, Budhists etc. are all wrong in their beliefs but if it gives them peace, so be it.
Remember this; The more people who believe in two differing views. within reasonable percentages, the better the odds that BOTH views are WRONG!

"Attempts to put down, belittle and in effect silence people with whom you disagree is a dangerous and anti intellectual"
You have just described o'reily's program perfectly.
By katydid579
The comment was NOT taken out of context. There was no misunderstanding of what he said. oreilly uttered nonsense and was called out on it. Then, when he tried to bolster his statement with "fact" he dug himself deeper in the "stupid" hole.
By mel
The problem with Bill O'Reilly is not the dumb things he mis-speaks about. What else is new? I don't think he even takes himself that seriously. The problem is the millions of people who DO take him seriously and think whatever comes out of his mouth is the absolute truth. At this point, O'Reilly is the comic relief at Fox - there are so many "news reporters" on FOX that are far more worrisome than Bill O'Reilly. Let's realize that O'Reilly is pretty much irrelevant at this stage and worry about the Glenn Beck's - because there are millions of people out there who are taking THEM seriously and that scares me - alot. I definitely believe in a person's right to stand on a soap box and say whatever he believes but it's irresponsible of FOX to allow them to do it on TV under the guise of real news. Even if I were ultra conservative, which I am not, I would be afraid of these TV personalities. I'm afraid of fanatics of all persuasions - history has proven that fanatics are people we should all be afraid of - these are people who will never listen to the other side - completely inflexible. I am a liberal but I can't stand Bill Maher either - because he is also a fanatic who won't entertain the idea that someone who disagrees with him may actually have a point. Shouting the other person down is no way to have a serious conversation about serious topics. Why can't we all stop shouting and listen to each other instead of talking over each other in an effort to prove just how smart we are? it's not working - never did.
By stacknef
Why don't people like OReilly you ask? Well, for one thing, because I disagree with his opinions, he calls me a "pinhead"?
And his comment was NOT taken out of context. I saw the origninal interview and the person he was addressing was almost stunned into silence from such an ignorant question "Where do the tides come from,,,, who knows?"
Well BillO, I asked my 5th grader neice and she told me its a product of the gravitational forces between the Moon and the Earth, without getting into much more detail. I just wanted to check whether anyone else was as stupid. Nope, just him.
By Harley
I've never met OReilly, so I can't say that I don't like him. I don't think he knows what he's talking about, and his analogy was not a good one. I certainly don't want to silence or marginalize Oreilly either. He has the right to say what he wants, just as I do. Debating his comments is exactly what freedom of speech is about. The simple fact is, tides exist because of the gravitational pull of our moon. Mars happens to have the same sun (as does Venus), and Mars has two moons. Mr Oreilly doesn't seem to be aware of a scientific fact I remember from Jr high (at least). While Religious faith comes from believing (without questioning) something someone wrote centuries ago, Science is about finding out the facts, WHETHER WE LIKE THEM OR NOT. Science does not depend on what someone wrote, but on experimentation and Observation.
Oreilly is free to believe anything he wants. But that also means I'm free to believe he doesn't know what he's talking about, too.
By bjs
I agree with you Vernon. I don't understand why so many people think that, if you don't agree with them, you are stupid, idiots, and without intelligence.
By seb
had to make one myself.
By seb
i've seen plenty of his shows. they all make me rage. he is clearly a) retarded and b) an asshole. so what's your point?
By Vernon
This is my point:
When your weapon against another person that you do not like are personal attacks and name calling, and not an intelligent rebuttal based on facts and substantive and scholarly debate, you are being anti-intellectual.
That is a typical tactic used by people who either don't really understand the issues or cannot create an effective and intelligent argument to support their own position.
Have you really seen one entire broadcast, start to finish? I have never seen or heard O'Reilly be an ***hole to anyone.
By sd
At the risk of speaking for Seb: I don't think that was a 'weapon' he was using against BOR... i think it was simply shorthand for the conclusion he reached. It's the end of the train of thought, not the beginning.
By Vernon
I would like to see a train of thought in an intelligent argument that ends with an immature assessment such as retarded and ***hole at the conclusion.
WHere are the facts to support a that kind of commentary. Since when is liable a legitimate conclusion?
Both you and seb are helping me make my case.
By kturnbaugh
I think you give him/her too much credit and are white washing the comment
By StrayLeo
Vernon, then bor using the term pinheads, shows he is unintelligent?????
By JP
"would like to see a train of thought in an intelligent argument that ends with an immature assessment such as retarded and ***hole at the conclusion. "
Ok - so here you have it.
Retarded - ***hole. Happy now?
By khayne44
So Bill O'Reilly's anology of wheather God exists or not, may not have been the best, but the truth is that no one can prove or disprove whether or not he exists. But one thing I know for sure, we all will find out someday, and if your a non-believer, you better be right!!!
By Barb
The reality of God's existence must not be equated to the intellectual incapaity of Bill.
By JJ
I could not have said it better khayne44...that is the whole point of the issue and you said it well.
By Norm
Where did Bill Riley come from? Obviously a place where they didn't teach basic science or astronomy

So you can be serious about your music:
A relaxed and large sound - deep and rich from a small speaker.
MonoPulse impulse timing - all the presence, realism and sound-stage.
32Hz bass and 250 watts - 46cm high, and 18cm wide, in 7kg of solid power.
28mm neodymium HF units - as in our flagship Model A.
For impulse timing information and speaker comparisons, click - Quest
Now you can be serious about your music, whatever it is
Shown right - in Slate cloth.
Left - with blue cloth, the padded upper rear-leather and bi-wire terminal panel.
Dimensions. 44cm high x 18cm wide x 22.5cm deep, and 7Kg each.Power handling. 250 watts maximum and 150 watts continuous.
Frequency response. From 32Hz to 22kHz. (Below, in Cranberry, the rolled-edge real leather top)
Impedance. 8 ohms nominal and minimum.
The uniform high impedance is ideal for valve amplifiers and less sensitive to differences in solid-state amplifiers.

We recommend solid state amplifiers have a minimum of 35 watts into 8 ohms, and valve amplifiers about 18 watts.
Drive units. This compact package has a 135mm, Kevlar-coned, MF/LF unit, giving solid bass to 32Hz.
Neodymium 28mm HF drive-units, the same as used in our flagship Model A, are ferrofluid-cooled and silk-domed, giving a clean top-end response to 22kHz.
Crossovers. The patented asymmetric crossovers use only film capacitors and air-cored coils.
The HF circuits are fourth-order, with 24dB per octave attenuation giving superb protection of the HF units. The LF circuits are first order .
Mounting. The Model C can be stand mounted using BluTack or similar. It can also be shelf, swivel or wall mounted. Wall mounting needs only 1cm rear clearance and we can include brackets with suitable stand-off.

A Guide to EV Training for the Fourth and Fifth Generations of Pokemon
A Guide to EV Training for the Fourth
and Fifth Generations of Pokemon
When it comes to competitive battling, few things are more important than the correct use of Effort Values, of EVs for short. However for the most part these secret mechanics are barely mentioned as you play through the game, and certainly aren't explained in any real detail. This guide will teach you about what EV training is, how to do it, tips on how to get it done quickly and easily, and some handy spots where you can get your EV training done.
Effort Values, an Introduction
EV training is the act of adding effort values onto your Pokemon. But what are effort values? EVs come in two forms;
Effort Values that are
Each Pokemon has its own specific value attached to it, and a stat that corresponds to that number. The number ranges from 1 to 3, and all six stats are covered. When you defeat a Pokemon in battle, that particular value is added to a pool of effort values that
Pokemon has obtained.
Effort Values that are
As mentioned above, when a Pokemon defeats another it gains Effort Value
, which are then placed in a pool of all the EV Points it has gained. It is adding points to this pool that increases the stats, and is detailed further below.
So, as you battle more and more Pokemon, you gain more and more EV Points. But what do they do? This where numbers start getting involved. A Pokemon can obtain a maximum of
EVs across all of its stats, but only a maximum of
EVs in a single stat at a time. Every time a Pokemon gains
EV Points in a single stat, that stat itself is increased by 1 point. Now as a Pokemon can gain up to
EV Points in a single stat, this translates to
stat points. This is why EV training is so useful, it allows you to get your stats anywhere up to 64 points higher than if you didn't EV train!
This is the main reason dedicated EV trained Pokemon are superior than non-EV trained Pokemon. If people pay no heed to where there EVs are going (Like we all do when we are simply facing the gym challenge), then you end up wasting EVs on stats you will never make use of. Take Alakazam for example, a very speedy-but-frail special attacker. If you didn't pay attention to EV training, then you'd be very likely to end up with a lot of EV Points in unneeded places like its physical attack stat and defences, when they could be invested in making it an even stronger or faster special attacker! In this sense it's just as important to watch where you're EVs are
How to EV Train
The basic methodology of EV training is, at its heart, extremely simple, you battle! However as mentioned previously, it is simply an act of only battling the correct Pokemon, those that give EVs in the stat you require. Luckily this has all been discovered by accessing the games code, and we now know exactly which Pokemon give which EVs and how many of them. Follow the below links to learn who gives what;
Pokemon that give HP EVs
Fourth Gen
Fifth Gen
Pokemon that give attack EVs

Pokemon that give defence EVs
Fourth Gen
Fifth Gen
Pokemon that give special attack EVs
Fourth Gen
Fifth Gen
Pokemon that give special defence EVs
Fourth Gen
Fifth Gen
Pokemon that give speed EVs
Fourth Gen
Fifth Gen
So long as you make sure you seek out and battle only these Pokemon, you can ensure that your EVs go only into the stats you want them to. However there's a couple of tips that will help you make the most out of your EV training;
Ensure the EVs you obtain are divisible by four in each stat:
The old saying "every little helps" is quite fitting in this context. While a single EV may seem negligible in comparison to the 510 you potentially gain, wasted EVs in one area can deprive other stats of valuable boosts. And the simple, most effective method of ensuring you don't waste these points is to ensure you give each of your Pokemon training that results in their total EVs for each stat divides by four. Since it's only every four points that a stat increases, this means that any extra have no effect on the stat whatsoever. It is for this reason that while it may seem like the logical thing to pour the maximum 255 EVs into a stat, it is actually rather inefficient as it is no better than 252, the largest multiple of four obtainable in a single stat.
Keep a tally:
While EV training itself is an extremely simple process in of itself, it can be very difficult to keep track of your progress if you aren't paying attention! There is no way of checking how many EVs you already have in each stat in the game, meaning you have to keep track externally. While not as worrying if you are simply maxing out two stats, it's very important to keep track if you plan on placing EVs in three or more stats where precision placement is necessary. The simplest way is a simple tally chart done with pen+paper, adding a new line every time you encounter the Pokemon you wish to face. A physical copy is also safer than using an online counter, since that runs the risk of crashing or being reset accidentally. Whichever way you go about it, keeping track of your progress is very important.
Items that Speed EV Training Up
While EV training can be a surprisingly quick process if done efficiently, there are means of making it even quicker, the simplest of which is to use items. EV-boosting items come in two flavours, those that increase the EV output of a battle, and those that simply give you EVs;
The Power Items:
These held items cover the former, in that they increase the amount of EVs you gain from each battle. There are six Power Items, one for each stat, and each gives 4 EVs (Which of course means one stat point) in that stat every time you knock an opponent out. These items can be employed in two ways. First, you can attach a Power item and battle Pokemon which give EVs in the same stat for huge amounts of EVs in that stat, anywhere up to 7 per battles. Alternatively you can attach a Power item for one stat, and defeat Pokemon who give EVs in another. This effectively lets you EV train in two stats simultaneously, assuming you can keep track of how many you're gaining in each this can be a very effective method.
The Macho Brace:
Another item that increases EV output, this one functions a little differently to the Power items. Rather than adding a set quantity of EVs to a certain stat, it doubles the EVs gained at the end of each battle. On one hand, this can be inferior given that if you're facing Pokemon that only yield one EV point, you will only gain two in comparison to the five you would gain with the relevant power item. However it is a better choice if you are training for multiple stats in a single patch of grass, providing a consistent doubling to all boosts rather than a big increase to one. However its main perk is that it stacks with something called the Pokerus, which I will come to later on.
One thing to note when using these two items is that they halve you speed stat while battling, meaning they may be unsuitable for training against foes you need to hit first to win. For example fishing for Seaking and Gyarados is a great way of gaining attack EVs, but a frail Infernape will not appreciate having to take a super effective Water attack before it gets a chance to defeat them!
The Vitamins:
These items cover the latter, in that upon consumption 10 EVs are added to a single stat depending on the vitamin, it's that easy! However a replacement for EV training they are not, for several reasons. First and foremost, once a Pokemon gains 100 EV points in a stat, vitamins can no longer be used on that stat. Not a problem for mixed EV spreads, but a simple 252/252 spread will only get minimal use out of each. Next, they are extremely expensive to buy, at
9800 apiece. Buying large quantities is not something most trainers will be able to do until after beating the Elite Four several times.
The Wings:
New to the Fifth Generation are the Wings, almost like a "lite" version of the Vitamins. Just like the vitamins, there is one for each stat and they simply add a one-off EV value upon consumption. However the yield is far smaller, giving only a single EV at a time. However they do come with one advantage, in that there is no cap on how many EVs a Pokemon can have before they stop working. While hardly economical for training entire teams with (They cannot be bought and it would take massive amounts of time to gather enough just to raise a single Pokemon), they can be extremely handy for bumping a stat up to the exact value you want it rather than having to fly to a whole other area to face a Pokemon that yields the desired value.
Details on the locations of the
Power Items and Macho Brace
, and
can be found at these links.
The Pokerus
There is one other method of increasing the EV output of a battle, but it is not an item, but instead a very special "status condition" called the Pokemon Virus, or Pokerus for short. Contrary to the name this is not a bad thing at all, but instead a boon to have while EV training!
The Pokerus acts similarly to the Macho Brace, in that it doubles the output of EVs from battle. The great thing about the Pokerus is that this doubling is applied
other modifiers have been calculated, which can lead to some insane EV outputs. For example, a Pokemon could be using a Power Bracer, which adds 4 attack EVs on at the end of each battle, and facing a Seaking, who gives 2 attack EVs itself. Upon defeating it, the Pokerus would double the 6 EVs normally gained, reaching a huge 12 points! Alternatively you could use it to stat with the Macho Brace for quadrupled EVs, again not capable of the dizzying highs the Pokerus/Power Item combo can reach but more suited to easily raising multiple stats simultaneously. It has no effect on Vitamins or Wings, however.
Pokerus is obtained by defeating a wild Pokemon which has the virus, which is determined in a similar way to shinyness. However Pokerus is far rarer, with each encounter having roughly a 1 in 22,000 chance of being infected. However with the advent of online trading forums (Such as our own PE2K) and the GTS, obtaining it this way is far simpler. After obtaining a Pokemon with the Pokerus, you can proceed to spread it to the rest of your team. Think of it as a Pokemon Pox Party (Where parents take their young children to play with a child infected with chicken pox, in order for them to catch and recover from it young rather than risk them facing it as an adult, which is very often lethal), if you will. After each battle, any Pokemon next to an infected Pokemon stands a chance of being infected themselves. Through this method you can rapidly infect entire teams of Pokemon to increase the speed at which you can EV train them.
An infected Pokemon is "cured" of the Pokerus automatically after a period of around two-three days, although it appears to be shorter in Pokemon Black and White. However only the ability to spread the virus is lost, the doubling of EVs is luckily a permanent gain! It is for this reason many people designate one Pokemon an "infector" a Poke used explicitly for spreading the virus. This is acheived by infecting the desired Pokemon and immediately placing them in the PC, which stops the Pokerus timer until you next withdraw it. This allows you to keep it for many times longer than you normally would, so long as you redeposit it immediately after use and replace it with a new infector regularly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Feel free to submit your own!
I'm following your guide like you said, but my stats are hardly rising at all! What gives?
EVs boosts are added every time a Pokemon levels up, so you won't see a change if you don't increase your level. However even upon levelling up, the jumps you see are very random. One level you may gain 10 attack points, the next you may only jump 1! The only time you will see all of your EVs present is when you hit that magical level 100, where all remaining EVs are applied and you see your final stat. As long as you follow the guide, you will se the desired results at the end of your training.
If EVs are only applied when a Pokemon levels up, can I not EV train a level 100 Pokemon?
In Fourth Generation games, unfortunately you cannot. A level-up is needed for any gained EVs to be applied. However in Fifth Generation games, this has been changed so that at level 100, EVs gained will be applied without levelling up.
What happens if I use more than one Pokemon in a battle?
Like exp. points, all Pokemon that take part gain something. However unlike exp, each Pokemon gains the full EVs rather than them being distributed between them (It's awfully difficult to share a single EV!). However any boosts applied to the base gain are limited to the individual, only the Pokemon using a Power Anklet will gain the 4 extra EVs and only the Pokerus-infected Pokemon will have their gains doubled.
Is there any way of removing EV Points from a Pokemon?
Yes, there are a subset of berries that both raise a Pokemon's happiness and reduce the EVs in a single stat by 10 EV points. A reverse-vitamin, if you will. They are:
Pomeg: -10 HP
Kelpsy: -10 Att
Qualot: -10 Def
Hondew: -10 SpAtt
Grepa: -10 SpDef
Tamato: -10 Spe
And there you have it, an introductory guide to EV training! Hopefully you found this informative, and good luck with your endeavours [=

Re: A Guide to EV Training for the Fourth and Fifth Generations of Pokemon
Thank you for this guide Gofre, I've only recently realised how important EV training is in Pokemon, especially since it is heavily used in Wi-Fi battles. This guide is much more clearer than the other guides I have read.
The only question I have to ask is:
If my Pokemon is infected by the Pokerus and is holding the Macho Brace, to fully max out in a single stat Will I only need to defeat 64 Pokemon?

No problem [=
It depends on the EV output of the Pokemon you're beating on how many you must face to max out a single stat.
1 EV Yield;
252/(1 x 4)= 63 63 defeats
2 EV Yield;
252/(2 x 4)= 31.5 32 defeats
3 EV Yield;
252/(3 x 4)= 20.833r 21 Defeats
So you would be correct that you only need to beat a maximum of 64 pokemon to max out a single stat, although given that you do not need to gain the three excess EVs you can stop at 63.

Re: A Guide to EV Training for the Fourth and Fifth Generations of Pokemon
Yup, I fully understand the whole EV Training process now, thanks. Currently training my Musharana in Sp Defence, HP and the remaining on Defence. Just started with the Special Defence and have already managed to defeat 33 of them. Its a shame there is no way to check how many EV points you've earned, without actually obtaining the maximum and reviving the ribbon.
Looks like I'm sticking with the chart

Lichborne: Gearing up to tank Naxxramas
So by now, I'm sure many of you Death Knights have managed to follow our last tanking gear guide and have put together a pretty decent tank set that's gotten them through a few heroics, but now it's time for the next step: Getting ready to tank Naxxramas.

Welcome to Lichborne, The weekly Death Knight column, where your host is recruiting only the most pro critters for his raiding team.
Before we start, there's two things you should remember: One, I'm pretty much following the logic I laid down in the Death Knight statistics primer a few weeks back, so if you want to know why I picked a certain item, the answer is probably there, and two, whatever you do, remember to hit 540 defense skill.

Amicus Therapeutics Presents Updated Patient Screening Profiles From Phase 3 Fabry Study
Study 011 is a randomized study with a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled primary treatment period and a 6-month, open-label follow-up period in which all subjects receive treatment with migalastat HCl. The primary endpoint in Study 011 is a change in interstitial capillary GL-3 as measured in kidney biopsy at 6 months versus baseline. The 6-month primary treatment period in Study 011 was completed in the second quarter 2012 and the 6-month follow-up period is expected to complete in the fourth quarter 2012. Amicus and GSK expect to unblind and analyze data from the primary 6-month treatment arm during the fourth quarter 2012. Both companies remain blinded to all results at this time.
John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus stated, "Screening results from Study 011 suggest that migalastat HCl monotherapy may address a substantial portion of the Fabry population on the basis of genotype. In addition, these screening results may provide the Fabry patient and physician community with valuable information on a wide variety of different mutations, including newly discovered mutations."

Jonah Lehrer's Situation Gets Worse [Update]
Jonah Lehrer, formerly of Wired and recently hired by The New Yorker, is in serious trouble. Jim Romenesko pointed out that Lehrer lifted parts of a New Yorker piece from one he wrote for The Wall Street Journal, and the situation has snowballed since then. New York's Daily Intel noted several other instances of Lehrer plagiarizing himself and now Edward Champion explains that Lehrer recycled material for his book, Imagine. Poynter also found that he lifted quotes from a story written by someone else:
An editor's note at the foot of his excellent New Yorker piece on brainstorming says some Noam Chomsky quotes within it 'were not made directly to Jonah Lehrer' and that 'Chomsky and his colleague were interviewed by Peter Dizikes for his article in the November/December issue of Technology Review.' Gulp.
Gulp indeed. As of now, the only comment from the New Yorker is from its web editor, Nicholas Thompson, who called the plagiarizing "a mistake." A slew of Lehrer's posts on his "Frontal Cortex" blog also have editors notes tacked onto them. But how long until Lehrer gets the axe? He can't possibly keep his job after all this, can he?

That's the implication in a New York Times story that examines the park's decision to table a park-wide ban on the sale of small disposable plastic water bottles just two weeks before its Jan. 1 start date.
According to the paper's report, the proposal was put on hold after Coca-Cola officials raised concerns through the National Park Foundation. Coca-Cola, which distributes water under the Dasani brand, has donated more than $13 million to the parks.
The Grand Canyon had been following the example of Utah's Zion National Park, which launched a similar program in 2008, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which offers water stations and encourages visitors to bring their own bottles or buy a stainless steel reusable bottle at the Kilauea Visitors Center.
Other hotels, airports and destinations have instituted their own efforts to reduce or ban disposable bottles - including San Francisco International Airport's flashy new Terminal 2, which offers post-security "hydration stations."
RELATED: Travelers ditch plastic water bottles
Discarded plastic bottles account for about 30 percent of the Grand Canyon's total waste stream, according to the park service, and a park official told the Times that bottles are "the single biggest source of trash" found inside the canyon.
I can vouch for that: During a mule ride last winter from the South Rim to Phantom Ranch on the Colorado River, I took frequent swigs from an old-fashioned leather bota bag supplied by the outfitter. But on the way up and down to the river, I passed several empty plastic bottles abandoned at the side of the trail by passing hikers.
In anticipation of a bottle ban, Grand Canyon crews installed six free water supply stations on the South Rim and three on the North Rim. In addition to the park filling stations, Delaware North Companies' Desert View and Canyon Village Marketplaces also installed their own in-store, water bottle filling stations, notes the National Parks Traveler.
Susan Stribling, a spokeswoman for Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, told the Times her company would prefer to help address problems with littered plastic bottles by making more recycling programs available.
"Banning anything is never the right answer. If you do that, you don't necessarily address the problem," she said, adding that the bottle ban would limit personal choice because "you're not allowing people to decide what they want to eat and drink and consume."
"Reducing and eliminating disposable plastic bottles is one element of our green plan," National Park Service spokesman David Barna told the paper. "This is a process, and we are at the beginning of it."

Top Local Tips for Isla de Canela
Two countries The lying of the place Isla Canela and/or Ayamonte offers you the ability to discover Spain ánd Portugal. When you want to discover both lands, it's helpfull to have a car. In Portugal we went to Casto Marim (an old castel), Faro, Monte Gordo, etc. In Spain we discovered Niebla (small place surrounded by the old town walls), Palos de la Frontera (the place Columbus started his journey), Sevilla (which was extremely nice), Ayamonte (small streets, litle shops, bit more touristic than Isla Canela), etc.
Shopping - or lack of it! This is not the place to shop till you drop. We struggled to find gifts to bring back for family & friends
Damas bus service ask for a bus timetable at the front desk. There are local buses to get from outside the hotel to take you to Ayamonte and to other places from there.

Osho continues:
"If you do it forcibly you will miss the point. It is very delicate. You have to look inward playfully, not seriously. That's what he means by 'taking things easily.' Don't take anything seriously.
"Existence is very easy. You have got your life without any effort, you are living your life without any effort. You are breathing perfectly well without being reminded; your heartbeat continues even in your sleep – so easy is existence with you! But you are not so easy with existence. You are very close-fisted. You want everything to be turned into an achievement.
"Enlightenment cannot be an achievement. That which you have already – how can it be an achievement? The authentic master simply takes away things which you don't have and you believe you have, and he gives you that which you already have. You are having many things which you don't have at all, you just believe that you have them. The master's function is that of a surgeon, to cut all that is not you and leave behind just the essential core – the eternal being.
"It is a very easy phenomenon; you can do it on your own. There are no problems and no risk in taking things easily, but people take things very tensely. They take things very seriously, and that spoils the whole game.
"And remember, life is a game. Once you understand it as a game, a deep playfulness arises on its own accord. The victory is not the point; the point is to play totally, joyously, dancingly.
"What is called playfulness is very essential in the inquiry of your own being. Says Bukko:Taking things easily, and without forcing, after some time the rush of thought, outward and inward, subsides naturally, and the true face shows itself."When I say to you that meditation is nothing but thoughtlessness, you can misunderstand me. You are not to do anything to become thoughtless, because whatever you will do will be again a thought. You have to learn to see the procession of thoughts, standing by the side of the road as if it does not matter to you what is passing by. Just the ordinary traffic – if you can take your thoughts in such a manner that they are not of much concern, then easily, slowly, the caravan of thoughts which has continued for thousands of years disappears."

Avril Lavigne's back with a video for her new single, "What The Hell," a product placement-happy joy ride in which the punk-pop princess — now 26 — tries to outrun (and outdrive) her super hot, Brody Jenner-esque plaything. Why? I'm not entirely sure. We see Avril in her skivvies, playing basketball, and driving a taxi cab, before she finally hides out in a boutique which conveniently sells her own line of clothing, Abbey Dawn. I was never an Avril fan to begin with and I suppose it's fool on me for thinking her musical stylings would mature into deeper territory, but, like, is there still a market for this? My head hurts.

text: Haug admits to eyeing Schumacher alternatives 8 September, 2012 Sep.8 (GMM) Norbert Haug has admitted that Mercedes is eyeing possible contingencies, in the event that Michael Schumacher does not race the German team's 2013 car. "Of course we have to plan for all contingencies," said Mercedes' competition vice-president, amid raging speculation that Lewis Hamilton might sensationally switch from McLaren to drive in Schumacher's place next year. Haug is quoted by SID news agency as revealing that the team is conducting "open and faithful" talks with Schumacher. And when asked about Hamilton, he added: "Lewis grew up with us (Mercedes) and with McLaren. We worked together even when he was 12 years old. "But it is not possible to conclude from this that the current rumours have any basis." An outright denial sounds different. Indeed, Haug acknowledged the speculation. "As long as seats are available, you have to deal with it. We do not spread the rumours, but we have to live with them," he said. The latest rumours were fanned by former team owner and now British television pundit Eddie Jordan, but McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh questioned their credibility. "I think that any article that includes a sentence that begins 'Eddie Jordan understands…' is automatically questionable," he told the BBC. But Jordan's television colleague David Coulthard, a former long-time McLaren driver, said the Irishman has earned more credibility than that. "EJ has a reputation for being a bit outspoken but he has brokered more driver deals than almost anyone in the sport, has contacts all over the place and is friendly with Lewis's manager, Simon Fuller," he wrote in the Telegraph. "I cannot recall him being wrong when he has stuck his neck out like this. He was right about Michael Schumacher coming back to the sport three years ago, for instance," Coulthard noted. So for now, the Hamilton saga is the talk of the Monza paddock. "He looks so unhappy at McLaren – I think he will go," an unnamed team principal told the Guardian. Jenson Button, Hamilton's teammate at McLaren, thinks the 2008 world champion would be mad to move. "It wouldn't hurt me as much as I think it would hurt him," he said. But as Coulthard surmised, no one at present really knows if Hamilton is staying or going. And "I'm not sure that he does either," said the Scot. Subbed by AJN.

The three year expierment has failed. Mercedes has seen Kimi and know that Schumacher just does not have it any more. Putting Schumacher in equal equipment has been his down fall. No longer does Schumacher and Braun have the 2 second per lap advantage Bridgestone tires they used to get at Ferrari that only Schumacher was allowed to have. The myth of Schumacher has been fully exposed and has shown Schumacher only won so much because of unfair advantages. Schumacher was supposed to be this great car developer but he has three years of imput on developing this Mercedes and he has failed. Again this just shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the 2 second a lap faster tires that Bridgestone provided to only Schumacher and Ferrari was his big advantage. Fillipe Vasquez My God, "Schumacher Is Yesterday's News' is a moron. What a shame that the Internet empowers people so ignorant. RoyA @ "Schmacher is Yesterdays News" are you stupid or stupid? and why ppl like you are even allowed to contribute their idiot comment. Why dont you get a life and stop moaning? What MS did was use the rules to his advantage. Failing to do so by other drivers does not make him the one to blame. I beleive the last two years everybody was finding loopholes within the books and maximizing them. Wha are you talking about. Go watch Tom and Jerry and get a life. @ YallaF1, please make ppl like this dissapear. They are a disgrace to what comments should be about.

Posted by AnonymousThis is a great Fondant recipe that can be tinted with paste food color if desired. Pour over the top of cakes or petit fours to make a perfectly smooth and glossy surface. Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator for weeks. Reheat to use again. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
Quick Pour Fondant Icing
- 6 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1 teaspoon almond extract
1 In a saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 92 degrees F (33 degrees C.) Mixture should be thin enough to pour, but thick enough to coat cake.
2 To cover cake: Frost cake smoothly with buttercream and place on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. Pour fondant over iced cake, flowing from center and moving out in a circular motion. Touch up sides with a spatula.

Improve Your Rankings With These Easy SEO Techniques
Search Engine Optimization or SEO refers to the process of perking up the visibility of a website or a web page in search engine results in order to boost traffic.

If you haven't already you will soon understand why keywords play such a large role in your website ranking. Many do not succeed for lack of attention to keywords.
Website Address Registration Information and facts
The internet is not a big deal to use when you know what you are doing. You are lost without a domain name, though, and that is where you have to begin. When you have the website already, you have to give it a name, a domain, and an extension. Then you have to get it registered. So don't waste time thinking, and do it already.

Pictures came in starting Tuesday afternoon by ones and twos and threes. From Austin, to Amsterdam, to Adelaide the equivalent of !2:00 noon Eastern Time was captured. I chose to layer the images of the video screens one on top of the next resulting in a burned composite. I surrounded it with the images of watching or listening or simply place. The text at the bottom are the words spoken (before concern led to a re-taking of the oath on Wednesday). I wasn't able to be in Washington D.C. but from this collaboration I am able to feel part of a communal experience on that historic day. I am very intrigued by the man in the background with the camera. It is as if he were taking our picture, as if his camera did not stop at what was before it and continued through to all of our faces.
I am very grateful to each person who participated. Send me an email if you are interested in seeing this put together as a 'zine.

Yes a zine would be great!ReplyDelete
Thanks Mel for putting this together. My kids kept asking me why I was getting up at 3.00am. "To witness history"; I kept saying...ReplyDelete
Oh; forgot to add; that disembodied head over Obama's right shoulder is really spooky. Who is he? Balding, glasses, (grey scarf to hide his alien skin perhaps??!!)ReplyDelete
Frankly, I would love to see it as a 'zine. I was so excited to be included with Zoe, who is one of my new heros!ReplyDelete

Educators wanting to learn from the best can do so with Lesson Lab's database of the world's best teaching practices. The case studies are culled from hours of videotaped classroom instruction that first started out as a U.S. Department of Education-funded research project called "The Third International Mathematics and Science Study," also known as TIMSS-R Video.
Based on the findings of the TIMSS project, Dr. James Stigler, UCLA professor and director of the project, started LessonLab Inc. with the goal of facilitating teacher collaboration in schools across the United States. To do this, LessonLab videotapes actual classes, digitizes the tape along with supplementary teaching aids, such as overhead projections and Web links, and presents this information online along with transcripts of teacher-student dialogue.
Ultimately, LessonLab seeks to provide educators with a digital library that archives various teaching methods from around the world. This research not only captures the best work from the best teachers and saves it for posterity, it also provides less experienced teachers with mentoring tools from actual classroom experience.
