The bottom line about the Washington Redskins, according to Jimmy Kimmel: "We got used to [the name] because it's been around for a long time, but it's a racial slur." Wednesday, however, may have marked the beginning of the end. That's when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the team's trademarks for being offensive to Native Americans. Naturally, the team plans to appeal the decision—but if it's upheld, the embattled franchise could lose control of its brand.
Thankfully, Kimmel has an easy fix: Just add an "f" in front of the word "Redskins," officially changing the team's name to the "Fredskins." There; that's not offensive to anybody, right? READ FULL STORY
At the end of this month, NBA star LeBron James may or may not leave the Miami Heat and enter free agency. According to outlets like CBS Sports, chances are the Heat's small forward will stay where he is. But, despite an ugly breakup in 2010, there's a small chance he could return to his home state and sign with his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James said this week that he hasn't decided yet, but a new video created by the social media team at Bleacher Report slyly suggests one man who could successfully coax James back to Cleveland: Mad Men's Don Draper, a man famous for doing lots of successful coaxing. READ FULL STORY
It looks like another perfect day — for Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday, Jimmy Kimmel revealed the terms of a bet between the L.A. leader and New York City's mayor, Bill de Blasio, over the results of the Stanley Cup Finals. If the Rangers won, Mayor Garcetti would have to sing "New York, New York" on the show. If the Kings won — and they did — Mayor de Blasio would sing "I Love LA."
Great news for Carly Rae Jepsen: She's no longer responsible for the worst celebrity first pitch ever.
That honor now goes to Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, courtesy of Tuesday night's New York Mets-Pittsburgh Pirates game. Jackson wound up tossing the ball crookedly, to the area between home and first base. As the announcer for one station noted, "It's good. He never [had to choose] between playing for the Mets and being a rapper."
A laughing Jackson took it all in stride: While the pitch may not have met his pre-game Twitter promise of "This is gonna be good," at least he'll have his 14 Grammy nominations to fall back on.
Watch Curtis attempt to make the pitch (or die trying) below: READ FULL STORY
"The best way to handle women is to keep them pregnant and barefoot."
"I don't mind being called a male chauvinist pig as long as I'm the No. 1 male chauvinist pig."
Sound like things Ron Burgundy might say? Close. Those were the choice quips of Bobby Riggs, the 1970s tennis hustler who baited top women pros into a series of lucrative "Battle of the Sexes" matches. In 1973, he famously lost to Billie Jean King in straight sets during a carnival-stunt spectacular that seems extremely ridiculous in hindsight but had enormous cultural implications at the time.
Riggs was undeniably a character, and the announcement that Will Ferrell is attached to star in a movie about the ballyhooed Riggs/King match is welcome news for Ferrell fans. Variety reported that the star, Adam McKay, and Peter Chermin Entertainment will produce a film, based on last year's ESPN article, "The Match Maker," which looked into Riggs' underworld gambling connections and speculated on whether he purposely threw the big match.

Is this what we have to look forward to in Space Jam 2?
Probably not. Still, Jimmy Fallon added another notch to his viral video belt on Thursday's Tonight Show when he joined guest LeBron James for "Wastepaper Basketball" — a perfectly '80s ode to the wonderful office time waster, set to the music of Kurtis Blow.
The intentionally dorky video deserves special mention for rhyming "super fly" with "IT guy," as well as for the uber-dated graphics interspersed with the duo shooting hoops (a.k.a throwing paper into a trash can). Somewhere, the Jim Halperts of the world are getting inspired.
The moment Jason Collins took the court for the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 23, he officially became the first openly gay player in the NBA. At the Staples Center in L.A., Collins helped his team achieve a six-point victory over the Lakers. More importantly, the game served as Collins' official return to the NBA since coming out. Watch the historic moment below:
And as can be expected in today's Twitter-happy world, celebs and others took to social media to talk about the moment. We've rounded up some of the best tweets about Collins's big day:

Ashley Wagner probably won't win an individual medal in Sochi. But there's got to be some sort of award for her faces — she's as animated as Jim Carrey in The Mask, only without the benefit of, you know, actual animation. Need even more proof? Let's start things off by counting down Ashley's top 5 expressions while receiving her disappointing short program score:

The Olympics: So many sports, so little time. Need help deciding which events to watch? We're here to help. Each day, we'll give you our three picks for the most watch-worthy events. Here's what we recommend for Monday, February 10:
3 p.m. NBC
These men, skating at the speed of light (or something like that), are what winter commuters wish they looked like when they slip and slide on icy sidewalks.
5 p.m. CNBC
The Americans should win this match if they can keep their eyes on the prize and not on the Norwegians' famously garish pants, which, much like the sun, should never be looked at directly. –Clark Collis
8 p.m. NBC
Lindsey Vonn may be missing from this year's games, but the U.S. still has a strong showing: Three-time Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso is competing, along with Mikaela Shiffrin, whose coach once said of her, "One day, she could beat everyone at everything." Yeah, that's what people say about me, too.

Bill would let cities pick ambulances
State now licenses providers
|A bill in the state legislature would give municipalities the ability to choose their primary ambulance companies. Naugatuck Ambulance is the primary responder in the borough, which only the state can change. Christopher Massa Republican-American
NAUGATUCK — A bill working its way through the state legislature would give municipalities, rather than the state, control over which ambulance service providers operate within their boundaries.
The proposal comes after officials put the borough's emergency medical services out to bid, but were prohibited from switching providers by a system that gives the state the authority to assign primary service areas, or PSAs, to ambulance services. The bill would take effect Oct. 1.

Volunteer drivers needed to provide a 'lifeline' for Uttoxeter people with limited mobility
Posted: May 26, 2014|
VOLUNTEER drivers are desperately needed to help provide a transport service for people with limited mobility living in rural locations near Uttoxeter.
Councillor Hermione Montgomery is appealing for Uttoxeter residents to give up some of their time to help the elderly and disabled get out and about in the day and to organised social events in the evenings.
Mobility Link is running a volunteer-based transport service to help residents living in smaller villages near Uttoxeter including Tean and Alton to get to larger towns like Burton to do their shopping and socialise.
The service works by taking people directly to places on the bus route or by taking groups to social events.
There is also an evening service run by volunteers where people can get picked up to be taken to evening events such as plays and performances.
The service is a 'lifeline' to those with limited mobility.
Councillor Montgomery said: "The service urgently needs volunteers. It's fantastic, because it means people with limited mobility can go out and be more independent, and socialise, attend evening events."
A spokesman for Mobility Link said: "We provide a comprehensive service using accessible vehicles, enabling indivduals who find difficulty using public transport to help stop social exclusion by suppling affordable, accessible transport.
"All our vehicles have a tail lift for people who are unable to use steps or use a wheelchair.
"We also provide transport for groups to enhance community activities.
"After looking at the census figures, we found the need to supply an accessible transport that could pick up passengers from their homes who otherwise could not get onto public transport due to disability or age.
"We now have over 4,000 members that use the service, our fleet has increased from two vehicles to 13. We did over 50,000 passenger journeys last year.
"This service helped families by taking away the worries of getting thier relatives to appointments. "It has helped people to get back into the community by giving them a safe and affordable means to get out of their homes to lunch clubs and other community events, and helped stop the lonelinesst hat a lot of our passengers say they felt."
More information on the service and how volunteers can help out is online at https://localgiving.com/charity/mobilitylink or alternatively volunteers can call 01283 512705.

Body found in burning, abandoned Exeter plant
The grisly discovery was made by firefighters when they responded around 7 a.m. to reports of a fire on the second floor of the former City Concrete building at 2 Hampton Road.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell would not identify the woman or reveal how she died, saying only that it's being treated as a "death investigation."
A ladder truck from the Exeter Fire Department returned to the scene shortly before 6 p.m. to assist in removing the body. Given the age and condition of the plant, an official with the state fire marshal's office said the stairs leading to the second floor were unsafe. An autopsy is expected to be performed today.
Investigators spent much of Thursday searching around the concrete plant, which closed some 20 years ago.
Police wrapped yellow crime scene tape around a dark gray Hyundai Elantra with New Hampshire license plates parked at the entrance to the plant and later put a tent over the vehicle and tarps around it. Passersby said it had been parked there since early Thursday morning.
Fire Chief Brian Comeau said the fire was small. It was considered suspicious from the start because it occurred in a vacant building with no electricity.
State police arrived just before 8:30 a.m. to assist Exeter police, followed by investigators from the state Fire Marshal's Office and later the state police Major Crime Unit.
By late morning, investigators began focusing their attention on a dumpster outside the Exeter Recreation Center, which is next door. They appeared to be searching for evidence and at one point placed a tarp over the top.
State police later spent about an hour searching a black Honda parked across the street at Access Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics. At one point, a man who was seen in the area of the plant was placed in a police cruiser.
He left in the Honda after it was searched.
The scene at the concrete plant startled Angie Estright, who works at Myers Chiropractic Clinic across the street. She noticed the fire on her way to work just before 7 a.m.
"I could see flames and smoke pouring from the windows," she said.
Police are known to patrol the old plant on a routine basis, often parking their cruisers at the entrance.
"Everybody in the area knows that," she said.

"Lol," said Simba.
Dev if I ever made an album and you gave it a glowing review I don't know whether or not I'd be flattered to the point of blushing or just really confused since I don't think there's a bit of straightforwardness in these when describing the music.
Album Rating: 4.5Thank god I don't write things hoping you'll understand them then!
how can you tell me the cover is not a rip off
Album Rating: 4.5Because aside from it being red:
It's continuing the same layout as his previous two albums, the first of which came out in '09
.+*^*+.Inconclusive evidence provided. I must return to my original position.+*^*+.
Album Rating: 4.5Well I tried!
yeah with Anthracks you're pretty much fighting against urself.
tried sooo many times but he knows I love and hate him the same.
kinda more towards hate at times tho :] but he knows that
he's kinda like that fly that you just can't kill and you just except he's there and blaze with him from time to time and try to trick him into tasting your fly swatter but just seems to be so elusive even when stoned
Album Rating: 4.0Whether it fits or not, I just think that cover is ugly as fuck. Didn't even know there was a shade of red that ugly. Hurts to look at.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Mitt Romney's campaign has opened an assault on Barack Obama in a state where the financial crisis hit big banks hard.
Romney, in a Web video released Wednesday, slammed the president's record in North Carolina, where the Democratic Party will hold its 2012 convention and where Republicans hope to win back 15 electoral votes it lost in 2008 to Obama.
The state is home to Bank of America (BAC), BB&T (BBT), First Citizens Bancshares (FCNCA) and was the headquarters for the former Wachovia, which Wells Fargo (WFC) acquired in 2008.The video highlighted Obama's 2008 Democratic Convention address that said Democrats constituted progress by how many people could find a job to pay the mortgage and put some extra money away to pay for their children's education. "North Carolina has lost nearly 50,000 jobs since President Obama took office," the video said. "That's over twice the size of the arena where the convention will be held." The convention will be held in Charlotte, where Wachovia

ecoone Spa Hose Filter
Product Description
ecoone® - simplifying life naturally
simple - safe - effective
dual chamber - purifies up to 40,000 gallons of water
ecoone® advanced HOSE filter solves most pool and spa start up issues without the use of harsh chemicals (such as metal removers) by removing or reducing most common water contaminants before they get into your pool and pool.
The ecoone® advanced HOSE filter has many other applications such as filling up fish ponds, fountains, fish tank, bird baths, pet water dish, watering lawn, washing cars, boats and motorcycles. Lots of uses!
Excellent for organic gardening, camping and RV's.
Available Size:
2" x 10" with FPT inlet/outlet
Weight: 1.5lbs
Temp Range: 35F to 100F
Working Pressure Range: 20-100 psi
- Proprietary dual-chamber design
- Removes 90% of chlorine
- Removes 98% of metals
- Purifies up to 40,000 gallons of water
- Removes scale causing minerals
- Works with city or well water; hard or soft
- Easily connects to garden hose
The ecoone® advanced HOSE filter is a proprietary design that combines granular activated carbon (GAC) and a reduction/oxidation media that is classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a bacteriostic. The combined media reduces or eliminates the following contaminants:
Heavy Metals: mercury, lead, iron, copper, cadmium, barium, chromium VI, chromium III, selenium.
Other Contaminants: chlorine and its byproducts (TMS), volatile organic containments (VOCs), hydrogen sulfide ("rotten egg" smell), fluoride, nitrate, arsenic, endrin, lindane, methoxychlor, toxaphene, silvex.
ecoone® advanced HOSE filter instructions:
Flush garden hose before use to remove sediment and contaminants. Attach filter to hose and flush for one minute until water runs clear. Can be used effectively at either end of the garden hose. Can be used with a sprayer attachment or sprinkler with barely noticeable reduction in flow rate. Save end caps for storage as filter must be stored wet. Do not allow filter to dry out as the media will harden and the filter will become ineffective. If end caps are lost, store wet filter in a plastic baggy in refrigerator.
The ecoone® advanced HOSE filter works best with a flow rate of 2 GPM or less. For highly contaminated water, reduce flow rate to 1 GPM. If flow rate slows, back-flush filter to remove sediment build up. If it's not possible to back-flush, place female end in a bucket of clean water and shake to loosen blockage from media.
Test ecoone® advanced HOSE filter for exhaustion: attach the unit to a source of chlorinated water and test the output with a chlorine test strip. Chlorine level should read at or near zero. Your HOSE filter will last to 40,000 gallons of water, depending on care, use and initial water contamination.

i had pretty sore calves yesterday from high incline on the treadmill, but much better today...
also caught a cold, but dont feel very bad i think because of the constant exercise :-)
been getting a note when i record exercise to increase calorie level, but i havent been focusing on calories lately - just want to eat meals and not "dwell" on it too much... its hard to remeber to drink water...except while i am actually in my workout.

On this week's episode of 90210, Naomi stepped up her beeyotch factor to mess with Annie's Sweet 16 party, Kelly returns to hear some shocking news about her ex-beau Ryan and a surprise visitor stops by in the final seconds of the episode.
We start things off with a very distraught Naomi walking through the halls convinced the entire school knows Ethan and Annie have been sneaking around. But luckily for her, the buzz around West Bev is that Mr. Matthews hooked up with "student" Kimberly (honestly, he could have been a bit more discreet about things by not picking her up at party the whole school was at).
While Annie is gearing up for her Sweet 16 party, Naomi is out for revenge and has concocted a master plan to destroy her birthday. So what does she do? Fly in Annie's ex Jason to attend her party, and play's stupid about what a great friend she is for doing it. But looks like the only one excited to see him is Grandma Tabitha considering she was drooling over his abs that you could "crush mint on."
Meanwhile, Navid is acting super weird around Adrianna considering last week he was obsessed enough to pick out hundreds of jellybeans for her by hand, and now gets freaked out when she touches him. When she stops by his McMansion, he tries to conceal his ridiculously huge and larger-than-life family out of sheer embarrassment, and is completely mortified when his mom asks Ade about her rehab stint. Well, they did pay for her, after all. But turns out the real reason he's been so distant from Adrianna is because he's a virgin. Love how fifteen-year-olds are ashamed of virginity these days.
Ryan, now the scumbag of the school, goes into hiding while Kelly tries to figure out what really happened between him and little Miss Kimmy. But, in a very boring tie-up, Kimberly finds West Bev's drug lord, arrests him and now that the truth is revealed, Ryan's name is cleared.
Back with the Jason drama, Annie tells her ex (who mind you is in matching flannel jammies as her) that she has moved on but still wants him to attend her b-day party. Ethan is less than thrilled he laid a smooch on her and that Annie won't tell him the truth, so they get in their first tiff (even though it was his idea to keep it on the DL in the first place). But Ethan realizes what a jerk he was and apologizes. The two share a kiss outside, only to be seen by Naomi and Jason. So in return, guess who Annie stumbles upon hooking up in her home shortly thereafter? Yes, Naomi and Jason, which really gets Annie all sorts of fired up. The two start to have it out outside, but before there could be any hair pulling or cat clawing, the long lost love child (in military attire) shows up at the Wilson's door and really surprises his two half-sisters.
This episode had a certain Gossip Girl element of plotting devious plans against people that I enjoyed, but Kansas boy was quite possibly the most boring character to be on the show yet. It wasn't my favorite episode, but I'm glad Kelly is back, the love child has finally surfaced and we have all rest a lot easier knowing Dylan's sideburns are still intact. What was your take on this week's episode, and what do you think will come of the love child's storyline?
As Annie and Ethan get closer, Naomi grows spiteful and delivers an unwelcome surprise at Annie's sweet-16 party. Meanwhile, the school is abuzz with news of Ryan's leave of absence, and Adrianna uncovers Navid's secret.

Please be gentle with me as a newbie, I would like to ask your opinion from a scientific view. Could the Magnetic Field Change have an affect neurologically on people who have had platinum coils inserted due to a subarachnoid haemorrhage? I'll tell you why I'm asking if I don't get ridiculed! Thank you if you take the time to reply.

Published August 7, 2013
The sun's magnetic field, which spans the solar system, is just months away from flipping, observatory measurements show.
"This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system," solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University said in a statement.
Hoeksema is the director of Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory, one of just a few observatories around the world that monitors the sun's polar magnetic fields.
The sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years during the peak of each solar cycle as the sun's inner dynamo reorganizes itself.
This next reversal—which will be only the fourth observed since tracking began in 1976—will mark the midpoint of Solar Cycle 24.
During a magnetic field reversal, "the sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero and then emerge again with the opposite polarity," explained solar physicist Phil Scherrer, also at Stanford, in the statement.
Scientists are already seeing signs of the reversal happening, and this time there's a twist: Data from Wilcox show that the sun's two hemispheres are oddly out of sync, with the North Pole already beginning to change and the South Pole racing to catch up. That means that for now, at least, the sun effectively has two South Poles.
Soon both poles should be completely reversed. "It looks like we're no more than three to four months away from a complete field reversal," Hoeksema said.
The Wilcox Solar Observatory has been observing the sun's magnetic field since 1975, and its scientists have been converting those numerical measurements into a map that can now be viewed online.
"What we're really happy about is we've never changed or upgraded [the observatory]," Scherrer said in an interview Wednesday. "It's the only instrument in the world where you can look back over 40 years and know you're measuring the same thing. That allows us to compare fields from one cycle to the next."
What Does a Reversal Mean?
A reversal of the sun's magnetic field will have consequences throughout the solar system since the domain of the sun's magnetic influence—called the heliosphere—extends far beyond Pluto. Changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to the Voyager probes, which are racing toward interstellar space.
Playing a central role in solar field reversals is the "current sheet," a sprawling surface that juts out of the sun's equator where the sun's slowly rotating magnetic field induces an electric current.
The current itself is small—only one ten-billionth of an amp per square meter—but there's a lot of it, and the entire heliosphere is organized around it.
During field reversals, the current sheet becomes very wavy. Scherrer likens the undulations to the seams on a baseball.
As the Earth orbits the sun, our planet dips in and out of the wavy current sheet, and the transitions can stir up stormy space weather around us.
The geometry of the current sheet can also affect Earth's exposure to cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles accelerated to the speed of light by supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy.
Cosmic rays pose a threat to astronauts and space probes, and some researchers say they might also affect the cloudiness and climate of Earth.
The sun's current sheet functions as a barrier to cosmic rays, preventing them from penetrating into the inner solar system. And a wavy, crinkly current sheet appears to create a better shield against these energetic particles.
Earth's Flip-Flop Coming
The sun isn't the only body in the solar system with a magnetic field that reverses. Earth has a magnetic field as well, and it has flipped many times over the last billion years.
This isn't surprising, Scherrer said, because the magnetic fields of both the sun and the Earth are thought to be generated by similar "dynamo" processes that involve rotating and convecting electrically conducting fluids—molten iron in the case of the Earth and hot, ionized gases for the sun.
The difference, however, is that Earth's magnetic field reversals happen much less frequently—only once every 200,000 to 300,000 years on average, although the actual time can vary widely—and over much longer timescales.
An analysis of centuries-old ship logs performed in 2006, for example, found that the Earth's magnetic field weakens in staggered steps, and that its strength has declined by a few percentage points since 1840.
If this decline is continuous, scientists predict the Earth's magnetic field could reverse sometime in the next 2,000 years.
When it does happen, Scherrer thinks that the flip will happen gradually—as is the case with the sun—and won't be marked by any kind of calamitous drop of the Earth's magnetic field strength to zero.
"It won't just disappear and come back again," Scherrer said.

It will be the end of all binary systems.
With the Polar Ice Cap melting, would the Earth expect any concern, with the Magnetic Field Change - as these appear in diagram to be related to the two Poles?
makes sense really.. not so sure that it happens regularly enough to know precisely what will happen. In my mind I wonder if the earth changes poles, do we change poles to. Everything has a ripple effect the Weather changing and having severe storms, more earthquakes and tidal waves around the world, volcanoes have been getting more active. However if we look back 200,000 years ago or whatever it has been since the last shift, the days of perhaps cavemen. in those tales I remember the earth moving majorly, volcanoes erupting etc. yet man survived through this... Of course they are only stories, how could we know for sure... when did the Mayans disappear?... was there some story about some perfect pyramids under the sea 2000feet or so near cuba.. not sure if that would match up with this story.. but my thoughts when i read this...
anyway it is only a routine process.then we shall wait and see what happens to the Voyager.nothing to panic i guess.
So since we revolve around the sun and the suns magnetic field is flipping and ours is not flipping right along with it does'nt that mean that the suns north will now be at our south and vice versa? and would'nt that inturn result in our planet being magnetically attracted to the sun?
i have read an article about affects of reversal of sun's magnetic field that will be gold age for humans in the world.
Since it happens so frequently I'm guessing (hoping) it won't have too large of an effect on us humans.
I am intrigued... The google snippet features the notion that it "will have ripple effects throughout the solar system," On reading the article there's not much to say beyond the possibility of "slightly increased cloudiness?" Is this a non news piece or did I miss an earth-shattering inference somewhere?
Very interesting and thought provoking article.
Opinions, be them acceptable or not, are only opinions/comments. If one wishes to speak out against another's opinion than that is their opinion.
On to the amazing and ever changing world and universes we are part of with many thank you(s) to the people teaching us their observations.
wow... scientifically proven that the end of our galaxy is imminent... albeit in some 2000 years... :)
Wow! Though I wonder what will happen if the change is sudden not gradual.
So does anyone know how this will effect the travel of comet ISON that is supposed to make a very close approach to the sun on November 28??
Sofa is mine.^_^
No. It doesn't work like that. If NatGeo isn't crapping their pants,neither should you.
@Ali oztoprakExactly, just as 1992 - 2003 was the previous golden age of humanity. And who can forget the paradise on Earth from 1970 - 1981?
That sounds like unscientific new-age nonsense.
@Babu Ranganathan religion is nothing but an organization built to attempt to control the masses, it will never have full control. The only true faith is individual faith which is created by a common bond that every living thing in this universe has. Religion, Government and Education are no more than human built structures that claim to help us and keep us in track while at the same time ripping us apart at the roots. The onlly thing we have that keeps us together is conciousness and a conscious bond, the hydrogen bond. Big deal, you are in book that is published and sold for monetary gain. woohoo hope you enjoy the money cuz when you leave this earth it is not going with you. Only your energy and its hydrogen bond will be going.
@Babu Ranganathan You're lazy attempt to solicit people to your website needs to stop. I visit Scientific American daily and am sick of seeing you post the SAME thing repeatedly. Not only is it COMPLETELY off topic, it's getting extremely old.
Also - I'd love for you to state which college or university you have lectured at; I don't believe that at all. I took the time to visit that Marquis Who's Who thing....you're a retail service associate? A retail service associate who lectures at colleges and universities? Please, get over yourself and quit taking advantage of this educational site by trying to advertise yourself.
I could see if you took the time to acknowledge this article or write something relevant, but like I said you must just copy & paste THE SAME thing in every comments section possible on this website. Get a life. Quit wasting the time of people who are interested to learn and discuss specific article topics.
Come on. Leave us alone you stupid moron!
@Daniel Rost This won't affect large, non-ionized bodies
@S. S. @Babu Ranganathan......National Geographic - duh. That was moronic of me I'll admit, I read all my science mags at the same time and had scientific american in my mind. LOL.
You still need to quit posting the same crap - I'd embrace your opinion on the article topic. You seem like a very intelligent person, but doing stuff like this makes you come off the wrong way, or like you didn't even READ the article just saw another chance to freely try to advertise yourself.
@Nik Zanella National Geographic embraces the world as a whole. Please have respect for opinions that differ from your own. Speak only for yourself in a polite manner unless posting on a private level where no person other than whom you are addressing will see your remarks. Do not presume you speak for every member of the National Geographic Organization as evidenced in your remark, and I quote, "...leave us alone". The fact you described Mr. Ranganathan as a "moron" in response to his obvious educated invitation to his website only reveals your lack thereof, on all levels. Please be more circumspect in your remarks out of respect for others, if not for yourself as a fellow human being residing on this wonderful planet. Such vitriolic response to an opinion other than your own reveals a multitude of emotional layers of insecurity.
@sus grant I had hoped to be among tolerant people who would not expose people to childish remarks such as "stupid morons". National Geographic provides ways for the reader to report spam and even offers a delete button. That was the point of my response to Mr. Zanella's comment. Whether people believe one way or the other is immaterial to the subject at hand. This is a site for discussion of this beautiful world we live in. The only responses I have read that possess intolerance are those of yours and Mr. Zanellas. You are the only one who has brought up any subject "going to Hell" as you put it. The point I was trying to make was to emphasize that no matter the differences in opinions people have, that politeness and tolerance should be the adult response. Leave the childish remarks to the social media sites. National Geographic is not the place for it. Your sarcastic assumption that I am an amateur psychologist is exactly what I am talking about. I refuse to be a part of discussions such as this. National Geographic is not the place for emotional name throwing because one feels threatened by opinions different than their own, whether it is "spam" or not. Please feel free to delete my response to you and Mr. Zanellas, yes, vitriolic, comments. Rest assuredly, I will be deleting yours.
@cathy H.You call Babu's comment an "obvious educated invitation to his website." I call it spam.
@cathy H. @Nik ZanellaGee, Cathy, do you have to give Nik a lecture and tell him how to act? I appreciated his comment, as this is a scientific site, and hopefully one domain that we don't have to be bothered by the people that think everyone is going to hell besides those who believe exactly as they do. We are tired of being lectured by the likes of Babu. And then you have to jump in and lecture Nik as well. I appreciate Nik's outspokenness, as most of us just have to hush up and take it, lest we be thought of as intolerant or "vitriolic." And then you top it off by playing amateur psychologist and say he has "a multitude of emotional layers of insecurity." Come on! Sounds like you are one of them as well. Nik has a right to his opinion, and I second it!

Penetrating Firewalls
by, 04-25-2012 at 11:42 PM (746 Views)
All other traffic is blocked by most of the firewalls as compared to the HTTP protocol. Hence layering of the protocol at the HTTP top could be a great idea, for example like REST, XML-RPC and SOAP does.
For layering protocol at top of HTTP, data shall be sent back & forth b/w server and client inside the HTTP responses and requests. Keep it in mind that HTTP response & request consists of more than just HTML & text. Binary data could also be sent in there.
Thing which seems to be quite weird to layer the request ontop of protocol of HTTP is host header file shall be present in HTTP request. In case when one designs P2P protocol ontop of HTTP, multiple hosts would not be run by your peers. Hence header field in that case would be a smaller but unnecessary overhead.

Core2duino triple-stacks Arduino for three CPU madness
There's something about the Arduino that brings out the strangeness in people, and that's pretty much the only way we disguise this stacked monster. Dubbed the Core3duino by its creator, John David, it takes and existing, dual-processor mod for the Arduino and adds in a third CPU. Not only that, you also get a full 60 I/O connectors.

Introducing myself and my journal: Building an Innovative Women's Communication Network in Sierra Leone
About Me:
Media Matters for Women (MMW), a small NGO based in the U.S., digitally connects West African women and girls so they can share information, learn from each other, entertain each other, hear crucial health messages, give feedback, and join in a network that begins in their village and extends across their country. We signficantly broaden and deepen the conversation among women and girls in West Africa.
MMW was founded in 2010 and has been built by a small group of friends from Africa, Europe, and the U.S. to address the acute information needs of West African women and girls. We are especially interested in those who are living in rural areas, are among the poorest of the region, and are frequently exploited because they don't know their rights or possibilities. It is our view that the only way to bring down staggering the rates of maternal mortality, teenage pregnancy, under-five deaths, female genital mutilation (FGM), and domestic violence is to improve communication for and among women and girls.
Our concept caught the attention of the Oak Foundation in Switzerland which recently decided to fully fund our one-year pilot study in Sierra Leone. The objective of our proof of concept pilot project is to build a market for the local production and distribution of radio content that is focused on women's issues and is relevant both in Sierra Leone and also more broadly across West Africa. We are very pleased to report that during our first six months of broadcasting we surpassed our goals for broadcast reach, audience appreciation, and program quality.

Kenneth M. Pollack Talks About The Unthinkable
OPB | Sept. 23, 2013 12:06 p.m. | Updated: Sept. 23, 2013 2:18 p.m.
President Barack Obama is traveling to the U.N. General Assembly today to address the international body about Syria, mid-east peace and a nuclear Iran. That last subject is one that Kenneth Pollack is coming to Oregon this week to talk about. Pollack is at the World Affairs Council of Oregon Wednesday night to discuss the prospect of Iran developing nuclear weapons and what to do to prevent that.
His new book, Unthinkable: Iran, The Bomb and American Strategy, argues against preventative war as a policy for containing Iran's nuclear capability. The thesis of Unthinkable upset some expectations, since the former CIA analyst and Brookings Institution scholar had argued for military action in Iraq a decade ago.

Professor Karen Pine applies psychological theories and knowledge to fashion. Fashion psychology is about understanding why people wear what they wear and the effects their clothes have upon other people and on their own their thoughts and emotions.
NEW BOOK ON FASHION PSYCHOLOGY 'MIND WHAT YOU WEAR' NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE, JUST £1.99 (Amazon Singles):
Professor Pine's first online Wear Something Different programme is coming, available from May 2014 via Do Something Different Ltd.
In 2011 I became Professor of the psychology of fashion at Bilgi University, Istanbul and gave an inaugural public lecture on The Psychology of Fashion.
As humans we communicate a great deal about ourselves via the medium of personal style and dress. I try to pay a lot of attention to this, personally and professionally. Because, if we're not careful, personal style can also become a straightjacket, in the way that behavioural habits can. So the Do Something Different philosophy extends to the wardrobe as well as the mind. We should use more than just 10% of it. Recent research on enclothed cognition demonstrates a powerful link between a person's attire and the way they behave, and evolutionary and cognitive psychology can help us to understand the inner drivers for people's clothing choices, and the effect upon others.
I am continually researching topics related to the psychology of fashion. In 2012 we published a paper in the Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management about the effects of subtle manipulations in clothing upon first impressions. My current research interests concern how dress can affect the wearer's mood or affective state and serve to regulate emotions.
You can download a summary of the results of the study into The Effects of Clothing on First Impressions here.
Or watch a video created for the Wall Street Journal, featuring my research, about How to Dress for Business Success.
I have developed the Fashion Literacy Test, download here and am continuing to research image, fashion and personal style in my work in the UK and in Istanbul.
There are a number of articles on my blog about the psychology of fashion including my research showing how clothing exerts an influence on our psychological and emotional processes - Happiness: It's not in the jeans.
Projects include working with brands (TK Maxx, TJ Maxx), clothing retailers and designers, a book on Fashion Psychology (see below), participation with Istanbul Bilgi University fashion designers at the 2012 Istanbul Design Biennale and a Laureate University Webinar on the Psychology of Fashion on 21st Feb. 2013.
OUT NOW: MIND WHAT YOU WEAR! Published by Amazon Singles 2014 (UK) price £1.99
Also available from Amazon.com price $3.19
MIND WHAT YOU WEAR: The Psychology of Fashion
In this book I reveal the inner secrets contained in the clothes we wear. It will help you decipher the subtle clothing clues people use every day to project or hide their true personality.
I also unmask how the right clothing can make us better thinkers. Or more likely to impress at a job interview. I show how the right outfit can give a much-needed boost to our self-esteem, mood or confidence. And how simple colour changes affect our sex appeal.
The book combines fascinating insights from scientific psychology with my personal impressions gained from a lifetime of people-watching.
It will appeal to fashion students and designers alike, as well as anyone who is passionate about psychology and clothes. It contains the questionnaires I've used in my research to discover what lies behind a person's wardrobe habits or to uncover their fashion identity. It is also laced with tons of practical tips on how to create a style that projects who you are, banishing fashion anxiety and sartorial monotony from your life forever.

Bus stops but no taxi stops: driversComment on this story
Johannesburg - Minibus taxi drivers have to stop anywhere because there are no taxi stops, Orange Farm taxi drivers said on Wednesday.
Government provided bus stops for buses, but did not do the same for taxis, drivers said at the Orange Farm taxi rank, south of Johannesburg.
"There are bus stops and even bus lanes, but taxis are not catered for, that is why we stop anywhere we want. Where else can we stop?" asked taxi driver Sipho Ncube.
He said the taxi industry was the country's oldest business.
"The government does not care about us, if they cared they would have built taxi stops for us."
