Derrick Rose, Tom Thibodeau differed on All-Star playing time

Coach Tom Thibodeau said that keeping Derrick Rose on the bench Sunday in the fourth quarter of the All-Star Game was something the two had "predetermined" before the game, which may well have been the case, although nobody told Rose.
"At times I wanted to get in there, but Thibs just didn't put me out there," Rose said. "I think he was worried about my back. I didn't know, and I didn't ask him."
It's obvious Rose wants to quit being asked questions about the back spasms that sidelined him five games. He insists he has recovered and said he didn't receive treatment during All-Star Weekend.
"I don't have any pain — nowhere," Rose said. "I feel good."
When asked if he was concerned about cameras capturing him smiling at the All-Star Game, Thibodeau said: "I am concerned about that. It kills the image."
Luol Deng said he didn't know if he'd be fined by the league for wearing a T-shirt with an image of Africa during the game. Deng is from South Sudan and said he did it to inspire children there.
Rip, C.J. practice
With Rip Hamilton expected to return from a thigh bruise for the home game Tuesday night against the Hornets, the Bulls are as healthy as they've been all season.
"He's encouraged by how he's feeling, but we're not going to rush," Thibodeau said. "We're going to make sure he can get through some practices and not have any problems. The intensity of a practice is still not what a game is. We want to be sure he can handle the contact and be good the next day and do it over a period of time, also."
Thibodeau said Hamilton would be a game-time decision. C.J. Watson also practiced Monday after being medically cleared after suffering post-concussion symptoms.
"It gives you another thing you can go to," Thibodeau said of Hamilton's return. "Of course, we have the pick-and-roll game and transition with [Rose]. He gives us a strong catch-and-shoot game. Most teams put two on him. He's an excellent playmaker. You need to have that balance."

• Other nonprofit community health centers can take the steps outlined in this recommendation to increase the delivery of essential oral health services to greater numbers of vulnerable and underserved individuals.
The release of this report coincides with a transformative moment in the nation's health care system. As the nation struggles to address the larger systemic issues of access to health care, greater effort will be needed to ensure that oral health is included in this conversation.
The recommendations presented in this report are directed to national, state, and local governments; all types of health care professions; licensing and accreditation bodies; educational institutions; health care researchers; and philanthropic and advocacy organizations. Together, these groups have the power to transform the delivery of oral health care to vulnerable and underserved populations. This report envisions an integrated delivery system that provides quality oral health care to vulnerable and underserved people where they live, work, and learn through changes in the education, financing, and regulation of oral health care. The recommendations support the creation of a diverse workforce that is competent, compensated, and authorized to serve vulnerable and underserved populations across the life cycle. Implementation of these recommendations will be a critical next step in increasing access to oral health care, reducing persistent oral health disparities, and improving oral health outcomes among vulnerable and underserved populations.

TURCK, Inc: Analog+ proximity sensors
Turck's analog+ proximity sensors are enhanced to differentiate between varying types of metal during detection-independent of their distance from the sensor.
Available in ring and flat housings, these material detection sensors provide sensing ranges up to 11 mm and are suitable for applications where different metal types must be readily and accurately detected. The analog+ material detection sensors use inductive coils whose RF fields are influenced differently for each metal type. The signal difference is then converted into a 0 to 10 VDC analog signal to signify which type of metal is being detected.

Keynes, Lenin, and Hyperinflation
Written by Gary North on September 25, 2014
In 1919, John Maynard Keynes became an international figure of considerable influence because of his book, The Economic Consequences of the Peace. It was a critique of the Versailles Treaty's imposition of reparations payments on Germany in the aftermath of World War I. In that book, Keynes made the following observations. Lenin is said to […]Continue reading →

I've been using coconut oil for the past half year and I love it! I've tried jojoba oil and olive oil and I broke out using them, but not this one...for some reason. It's more comedogenic than other oils, so if you're acne-prone and get lots of blackheads, this might not be for you! I also recommend testing to see if you break out from it. You might be allergic to it, or maybe it just doesn't suit your skin chemistry :-(
--> Coconut oil is solid at room temp, so I warm it up in my palms to liquify it, then lightly pat it onto my face. Use sparingly, bc once it melts, there's more than you think!
--> I sometimes massage it in until the greasiness is gone...massaging anything is good for you (just don't drag on your cheeks or they will sag when you're older), and it helps it absorb into my skin.
--> I prefer this product in the summer, when my skin is oilier. As strange as it sounds, your own sebum is good for you! (It is antibacterial, hydrating, etc...it is dirt and dead skin cells that cause zits!) This locks in the air's humidity and works like an overnight treatment for your skin. BUT if you do this, make sure to wash your pillows more often!
--> During the winter, I prefer a night cream that has a high water content and hyaluronic acid to combat the dryness due to heating. I could but I don't because I distrust having too much of a good thing.
--> When my skin is drier, coconut oil is not good as a hydrator. However, if you want to use it, I recommend pairing it with a water-based serum or even a mineral water spritzer, so it's got something to "lock" in to your skin.
2) WHICH TYPE TO BUY: Use extra virgin cold-pressed CO and make sure it has a strong scent. A lot of brands use fillers or process it even though the label says "all natural"...those can cause breakouts!
3) HOW TO STORE IT: Usually CO comes in large jars, which means you have to dip your hands in it = unhygienic! Store some in a small jar and leave the rest in the fridge. Wash your hands thoroughly before applying it, and use a clean spoon to scoop it out of the jar.
4) USING IT AS A MASK: You also use this as a mask. You can apply it after a hot shower, in the bath, or just cover your face with a warm damp towel. Wipe it off after a few minutes (this also provides gentle exfoliation after your pores open up in the heat).
5) USING IT AS MAKEUP REMOVER: If you're using it as a makeup remover, warm it up and massage into your face. The one drawback is that it's easy to get it in your eyes! I don't find it stinging, but it definitely makes my vision blurry for a good hour. Wipe off with a cotton pad...don't steam it off! It also conditions my eyelashes and keeps my skin from feeling tight after washing it.
--> I had a stint where I believed "real" makeup removers would be better. Nope! Most makeup removers are too harsh and strip your skin's natural oils, and I got crepey lids...at my age!! I then tried baby oil because it's cheaper...my lids became very sensitive, so much so that they were sore as I applied eyeliner! Coconut oil is the thing, guys :)
--> I have also learned that coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. I also realized this is why I broke out less while using it.
6) USING IT IN SHAVING: This is my FAVOURITE use of coconut oil! My legs get horribly itchy after shaving and this is the only thing that prevents AND relieves it! The only problem is that since it melts in my shower, I inevitably scoop out more than I need and everything gets oily. But the benefits to post-shaving itchy legs have been totally worth it, and once I adjusted to a soapless cleansing regime, I found that if I don't scrub off the coconut oil, I essentially get a whole body hydration mask, and barely need lotion post-shower anymore! Just towel thoroughly to prevent staining your clothes afterward.
Long review, I know. And hope this was helpful! :-)

I like it for hair treatment, but what is awesome about it: using a couple of drops on my face. I add it with normal moisturizer at night, to make it richer. My skin is even toned after doing this, and very smooth, to the point that i do not need foundation. EDIT: I bought a raw organic pure virgin (white solid at room temperature) jar from Whole Foods, it absorbs much better/faster than the other (organic raw pure kind) that i was using. I don't know why, but i prefer it even more now. It works well with extra virgin olive oil, as a body oil. It also has a very faint coconut scent, whereas the other one was totally unscented. I like the coconut scent more.

Oh, virgin organic coconut oil... I love it sooooo much! It is the best moisturizer ever:
~ I use it on my face, which is dehydrated but oily, with sensitive forhead... it does not make my skin oily, it hydrates, it makes skin glow...
~ I use it on the rest of my body... NO body lotion in the world can give such a beautiful healthy glow
~ I use it on my dry scalp and on my coarse hair. heaven
~ And from now on i am going to use it on my teeth!

Love this as my body moisturizer. I use it daily for my entire body with exception of my face and neck. I like to apply it right out of the shower to lock in moisture and it feels great when its warmed. My skin feels so soft and the smell reminds me of sugar cookies. Also big plus is that it doesn't have any parabens or chemicals and its so inexpensive compared to body creams/lotions.
UPDATE: With the weather getting colder I mixed avocado oil into my coconut oil and I love it even more now.

I work in Holland and Barrett and I purchased this when it was on a half price offer and i must say its one of the best £6's iv spent yet. some mnay say it can be pricey but..coconut oil lasts A VERY LONG time! it stays in the fridge and is solid. I melt it between my hands and put it on slightly damp hair. it works great for hair to keep it shiny and in condition. the smell isnt overpowering - it is a sweet, light scent :) its great for putting on to dry scalps too.
it also can be used for cooking! iv used it before on toast (delicious).
it can help with weight loss.
during my training at a health shop i went on many courses to keep up to date with products. on a course in London i was told this story: some farmers wanted to fatten up their cows. they discovered coconut oil and believed this would to the trick. however, they found that the cows were losing weight! this is because coconut oil uses stored fat as enegry which in turn helps u to lose weight. i am unsure as to whether this story is factual or not !
coconut oil can also be used on the skin. i've yet to try it is a moisturisor but im sure its fantastic. (after i rub it into my hair and scalp my hands are left feeling baby soft)
its a must have!!

coconut oil is absolutely fantastic. i have struggled with KP(keratosis pilaris) all over my body for so long. i've tried lots of different moisturizers but they never really seemed to have any lasting effect. i read about coconut oil here, and i had some in my kitchen so i decided to try it out by testing it on my arm, where i have a lot of particularly stubborn bumps. the next day it was easy to tell where i applied the coconut oil because there was a very clear line of demarcation-part of my skin was bumpy as always, but on the other part, the bumps had disappeared!! its been several weeks now and im still absolutely thrilled with what it does for my skin. between this, dove visible care bodywash, and salux bath towels, i can finally stop wasting money and energy trying to fix my KP, and stop feeling embarassed about the texture of my skin. as an added bonus, it's done wonders for strengthening my nails. i thought it was normal for nails to grow to a certain length and then get all snaggly,until i noticed how much nicer my nails were getting.
im afraid to use this as a facial moisturizer, as it is considered comedonegenic, (or however you spell that) but its great for oil-pulling. i find it helps cure junkfood cravings. still have to try it out as a conditioner.

I bought some coconut oil after reading the reviews here. I've used it on my hair, my face as a moisturizer, as an eye make up reviewer, and in scrubs. It smells fabulous of course, and I like how it feels on my skin. It doesn't seem to absorb into my face as well as olive oil - in the morning there's always a slight film left where with olive oil there isn't - but I don't care for the smell of olive oil and have yet to find a good way to mask it with other essential oils. All in all coconut oil is a good value and a keeper. Also excellent to cook with.

When it comes to coconut oil, I'm like that Frank's Red Hot Sauce Commercial - ' I put that *ish on everything'. LOL
Coconut oil is one of the best product discoveries I've made in the past year and I use it all over, hair, skin, massage, etc. Probably the only thing I have yet to use it for is actually cooking!
Edited 10/24 - Oh and did I forget to mention that coconut oil is also an anti-microbial? This is one of those supernatural products.

I purchased the Everyday Values organic unfiltered Coconut Oil from the grocery section at Whole Foods. It comes in a 14 oz jar, so for hair products, that makes this pretty cheap. It works fairly well. I slather it over my dry hair and massage into my scalp. I cover it with a plastic shower cap, and let it soak in for about an hour. Then I shampoo twice with moisturizing shampoo, and then condition as usual. After my hair is no longer dripping wet, I take a little more of the oil in my hands and rub it through the ends of my damp hair. Then I blow dry, without any additional product, and sleep on it. The next morning, I have the best hair I've had, in a long long time. My hair hasn't looked this shiny in years. Possibly ever.
I'll try it next time with air-drying it, which I have never ever been able to do with any type of product or haircut or perm, so I will update with new results when I have tried it!
I do recommend you try this if you have rough, coarse, or dry hair. I also have dandruff sometimes, and so I tried massaging this into my scalp, with no bad effects. My dandruff isn't gone, per se, but it's reduced, certainly. My hair looks gorgeous, and finally has settled into waves, which is a vast improvement from its formerly schizophrenic curl/straight state.

This review is for extra virgin, 100% organic, cold press coconut oil. A bit of a background; I suffer from a scalp condition and have been to numerous dermatologists who go back and forth between scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis (personally, I think it is psoriasis because my scalp is not at all greasy, as is mostly the case with seborrheic dermatitis. My scalp is extremely dry but what puzzles doctors is the fact that I do not have psoriasis on any other part of my body, so there in lies the confusion. Anyway, I would save I have mild to severe scalp psoriasis and the only thing that would help was a lotion that contains steroids. I'm not a fan of taking too much of any medication but the flare ups get very bad, several times a week. I have been no-poo (shampoo free), using baking soda/ACV for about six months now but not even this helped. It is a difficult condition to live with and I was seeking for something more natural and efficient to help my scalp.
Enter Extra Virgin Coconut Oil! I was looking for something that would help reduce pore size and coconut oil was suggested. I did some research and there were mixed reviews about pore reduction but I did see many people say they put it in their hair and people with dry scalp swear by it. I didn't see a lot of feedback from scalp psoriasis sufferers but I really had nothing to lose.
I bought it yesterday because I was having a particularly bad flare up and put it on today, leaving it on my scalp for two hours. This stuff is amazing. My scalp doesn't have the extremely dry flakes. I would say it reduced it by 80% and my scalp feels smooth and that's just with one application! I'm floored by this.
For anyone suffering with scalp psoriasis, this is it! I would say applying it one to two times a week would be best. Just make sure it is the Extra Virgin, 100% organic because when applying to the scalp (or other parts of your body) you want it to be as natural as possible and chemical and dye free, if not it may cause more flare ups.
Next, I will try it on my face to see if it will reduce my large pores. I shall update with my results. Love this stuff!

Philips Details An Award-Winning Appliance Design
When Philips designed its first home-use IPL device, designers wanted to create an archetypal shape for the product category.
Intense Pulsed Light hair removal devices have been used by the professional beauty industry and are now a growing category of home personal care appliances.
Philips wanted to differentiate itself from existing devices from its competitors, with a base station and hand pieces it saw as "clunky."
"With a new product category like this, there is no established archetypal design," said Ozgur Tasar, creative lead. "So we set about defining one with Lumea."
Philips Lumea design ended up being the first handheld cordless model of its kind.
From Milk Carton to Sleek and Simple
IPL technology uses pulses of light applied directly to the skin, which make hair follicles go into a "resting phase" and shed naturally. Using IPL every 4-6 weeks keeps hair from re-growing. IPL systems as a whole don't work on red, light blonde, or gray hair.
Philip's design team sought to give this complex technology into an appliance that looked inviting and was intuitive to use.
The goal at the outset was to create one cordless, hand-held device, and the primary obstacle was simply one of bulk.
"The main design challenge was taming so many huge and complex components into a simple shape that made intuitive sense to people," said Lieven Adriaessen, lead designer.
Fitting in all the components, including the capacitor and rechargeable batteries, ended up with a device that displaced about a liter of space. The first ideas, Philips said, resembled milk cartons - definitely not the look that the company was going for.
A design breakthrough came from splitting the components into separate hand and head sections.
The team developed a unit with a slightly tilted neck, purple details, and soft lines, intending to give the finished shape a "futuristic elegance." The team pared down design elements, to reduce visual stimuli and give the appliance a simple appeal. Only two controls are on the unit. One lets the user choose one of five light settings, depending on skin tone. Another is an on/off.
The OEM carried out consumer testing, and says design tests and first shopper studies found that women in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain appreciated the unit's design language and usability. The company said that, without a cord and a base unit, users found it easier to get to the underarm and bikini area. Unlike competitor appliances, Lumea is designed to not need replacement lamps or gels.
The original design launched in 2008. In 2011 the company launched Lumea Precision, with the same body shape but with an extra attachment for upper-lip hair removal. The new unit also has longer battery life and a beauty case, and a darker purple color distinguishes it from the original. The Lumea was named a 2012 iF product design award-winner.

Assistant Professor of Theater
Office: 103 Hopkins Center
E-mail: email@example.com
A native of San Antonio, Tejas, Irma Mayorga is a Chicana scholar/artist in theater and an Assistant Professor of Theater at Dartmouth College. She holds a B.A. in Theater from the College of St. Benedict, an M.F.A. in Costume Design (UW-Madison), and a Joint Ph.D. in Drama and the Humanities from Stanford University. From Stanford, she also holds the distinction of attaining the first Ph.D. by a Latina/o in the Drama Department's history. She is also a director, dramaturg, and award-winning playwright.
Throughout her career, she has worked between academic, non-profit, and community-based sectors of the arts as an artist, educator, activist, and arts administrator. As a playwright, her play Cascarones earned the Jane Chambers Playwriting Award (student division) and went on to receive an invitation for participation to the prestigious Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's Playwrights Conference under the artistic leadership of Jim Houghton and with America Ferrera (pre-Ugly Betty) in the lead role. She is the first Chicana playwright to receive invitation to develop and present work at the O'Neill Playwrights Conference.
In 2003, she wrote (with collaborator Virginia Grise) and directed an original solo work, The Panza Monologues, which focuses on the intersections of race, class, gender, obesity, body image, sexuality, and institutionalized racism in Mexican American communities. Austin, Texas' Evelyn Street press published the first edition of the play (now out of print). In 2009, she directed and produced a DVD recording of The Panza Monologues in performance, recorded before a live audience in East Los Angeles. A second, expanded edition of The Panza Monologues was published in January 2014 and presents the performance script in its entirety, as well as a rich supporting cast of dramaturgical and pedagogical materials. These include a history of the play's development, critical materials that expand upon the script's themes and ideas, a short introduction to San Antonio (where the play was developed), playwright autogeographies, and a manifesto on women of color making theater as well as a selection of pedagogical and creative ideas about staging the play. As leading Latina/o theater scholar Dr. Alberto Sandoval-Sánchez notes, the second edition of The Panza Monologues is "the most original and historically documented theater project to this date in Latina/o theatre." (For more information see www.panzamonologues.com.)
Dr. Mayorga is currently the Focus Group Representative for the Association of Theater in Higher Education's Latina/o Focus Group. She has received research fellowships from the Smithsonian Institution, Stanford University, Florida State University, Dartmouth College, and also the Williams College's Bolin Dissertation Fellowship. As a scholar, her research explores contemporary theater and performance by U.S. people of color, theater and performance by women, and Chicana and Chicano expressive culture. In 2013, the College of St. Benedict awarded Dr. Mayorga one of fourteen "Presidents' Awards" given to highlight the achievements of alumnae on the occasion of the college's 100th anniversary.

The message queue is filtered to ignore the AttachSenderId property.
The SenderId property is an array of bytes that represents the identifier of the sending user. The sender ID is set by Message Queuing and is used by the receiving Queue Manager to verify whether the sender has access rights to a queue.
The absence of the sender ID is an indication by the sending application that Message Queuing should not validate the message's sender nor verify the sender's access rights to the receiving queue. The SenderId is trustworthy only if the message was authenticated when it reached the destination queue. The message is rejected when it reaches the destination queue if the queue accepts only authenticated messages and either the UseAuthentication or the AttachSenderId property is false.
If a message is rejected, it is either sent to the dead-letter queue (if UseDeadLetterQueue is true), or it is ignored. You can request acknowledgments when a message fails to reach a queue. Otherwise, when UseDeadLetterQueue is false the message might be lost without warning.

While recent evidence suggests it may be possible to harness online social networks to influence Web behavior, Fowler said, no one to date has shown that online social networks could influence important offline behaviors.
The study finds that close friends who are likely to have a face-to-face relationship accounted for nearly all of the social influence in the network even though they make up just 7 percent of all online relationships. While the average Facebook user has about 150 friends, only the 10 closest mattered for the spread of real-world voting.
Voter turnout, or lack thereof, has long been the focus of academic research. For the congressional election in November 2010, the turnout was 38 percent of the voting-age population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Cameron Marlow, Facebook's head of data science and a co-author of the study, said outside researchers were provided access to company data and operated under the same guidelines as employees. Work was done on large-scale hardware that does not reveal individual identities, he said.
The study shows users who received a message, but not the photos of their friends, voted at the same rates as those who saw no message at all.
Conservative estimates show the overall effort directly boosted turnout by 60,000 people. The influence didn't stop there, according to the study. The social network yielded an additional four voters for every directly mobilized voter. An estimated 280,000 more friends showed up to the polls.
There were no differences in effects among self-described liberals and conservatives.
The study was supported in part by the University of Notre Dame and two foundations.
Morley Winograd, senior fellow at the Center on Communication Leadership and Policy at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, said the study confirms the importance of social connections in working to increase voter turnout.
"Contacting voters blindly doesn't do much at all because there is no social component," said Winograd, co-author of "Millennial Momentum: How a New Generation is Remaking America" and former chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party. "What is fascinating here is that social media could be used to make that social connection."
Political scientists have experimented with a number of get-out-the-vote messages and have found their effect in general elections ranges from about 1 percent to 10 percent, depending on the type of contact. Knocking on doors is most effective and electronic communication is the least. The Facebook study appears to have registered on the lower end of that scale.
Winograd, who was not involved in the study, suggested it would be wise for supporters of Obama and Romney to put out their own "I voted" messages to friends.

"'A Maze of Unintelligibility': Psychotherapy and African American Patients at Saint Elizabeths Hospital, 1900-1940"
ABSTRACT: With its emphasis on the individualization of mental disease, dynamic psychiatry held out the promise of more efficacious treatment modalities. If psychiatrists could get beneath the surface of patients' symptoms and understand their "meanings and values," then they had a better chance of facilitating mentally ill individuals' readjustment to their social environments. This talk is an examination of the use of psychotherapy on African American patients at Saint Elizabeths Hospital, a federal mental institution in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century. The psychiatrists and nurses engaged with these patients in ways that both revealed a concern for their mental well-being and a deep sense of racial antipathy. African American patients were not merely objects of medical scrutiny and targets of institutional management however. They interacted with the staff in ways that challenged the medical authority to not only determine the clinical encounter, but to establish particular truth claims about black insanity as well.

"Generation, Individuation, and Teleology: Malebranches and Leibnizs Divergent Theories of Pre-formation"
ABSTRACT: When some early modern natural philosophers rejected Scholastic substantial forms in favor of a parsimonious, and often explanatorily powerful, mechanistic philosophy, one natural phenomenon they had particular difficulty accommodating was the generation of new living beings. In this talk, I look at how Malebranche and Leibniz deal with this difficulty, and the different ways they draw upon teleology to help them provide theories of generation that can preserve the new mechanism. In the process, I underscore the complexity of theories of teleology in the 17th century.

"Writing the Origin with Burned Fingers: Darwin's Penance for the 'Sin of Speculation'"
ABSTRACT: Charles Darwin was notoriously slow to publish his theory of evolution by natural selection. His reticent approach to publishing on species is generally attributed to his supposed fear of advocating the potentially controversial doctrine of transmutation. I argue, by contrast, that Darwin's caution was the result of a specific scientific embarrassment in his past. What concerned him most about the prospect of publishing a theory of evolution was not the topic, evolution, but the general act of publishing a theoretical book. The one other time he had tried to do so, as a young man using his theory of coral reef formation to offer an ambitious account of the history of the earth and its inhabitants, the public criticism of his "speculations" drove him nearly to despair and made him unable to deliver the book he had promised. It was this experience which shaped Darwin's authorial priorities for his next grand theory: evolution by natural selection. He stopped thinking of his private speculations on species as an exhilarating distraction from the challenge of writing a geological book and began to plot a conservative course designed to insulate him (and eventually his species theory itself) from charges of rash speculation. I thus show that Darwin's well-known authorial decisions on the way to publishing On the Origin of Species were made as attempts to avoid repeating, and ideally to compensate for, the missteps he believed he had made as a young author. In turn I argue that our understanding of scientific authorship has been distorted by the assumption that it must have been the topic, rather than the mode of presentation, that determined how risky it felt to be the prospective author of a theory.

"The Yablo Paradox: An Essay on Circularity"
ABSTRACT: The Yablo paradox, which consists of an infinite sequence of sentences, each of which says that all sentences following it in the list are false, seems to provide us with an example of semantic paradox containing no circularity. In The Yablo Paradox Roy T Cook examines this puzzle in detail, paying particular attention to:
(1) The characterization problem: Determining which patterns of sentential referencecircular or notgenerate paradoxes.
(2) The circularity question: Determining whether, and in what sense, the Yablo paradox is non-circular.
(3) The generalizability question: Determining whether the infinitely descending pattern found in the Yablo paradox can be used to construct non-circular variants of other familiar paradoxes.

"Life on Display: The Exhibits Revolution in U.S. Science and Natural History Museums"
ABSTRACT: Once defined primarily by their collections, by the end of the twentieth century, American natural history and science museums had become institutions defined largely by their displays. This talk will use life science exhibits to illustrate how and why this transformation occurred. Efforts to modernize displays shaped and were themselves shaped by new institutional roles and identities for museums in twentieth-century science education and in American culture.
Drawing on the speaker's co-authored book of the same name, the talk will reflect on the controversies that accompanied exhibition building, chronicling how and why curators, designers, and educators worked with and against one another to build displays intended to communicate new ideas about topics like evolution, animal behavior, and radiation to various American publics. Scientists were extraordinarily invested in the success of museums' displays and saw display as an integral element of their own public outreach work and research agendas. In turn, rapidly professionalizing exhibit designers were periodic participants in the research process, supplementing and sometimes prompting research projects through the displays they built.

"Next Generation Theory of Cultural Evolution"
ABSTRACT: The human cultural niche can influence both biological and cultural evolution. The effects of changes in some norms and values may have unexpected consequences for other norms and values. One example will be shown. The role of culturally determined marriage preferences on cultural niche construction also has entirely unexpected effects. Rarely modeled effects of learning styles on the stochastic dynamics of cultural traits in small populations will be explored using agent-based simulation techniques.

"A Virtuous Theorist's Theoretical Virtues: Einstein on Physics versus Mathematics and Experience versus Unification"
ABSTRACT: When Albert Einstein formulated the general theory of relativity, he combined a physical and mathematical approach, as Renn and others have shown. He retained and explicitly referred to these categories in his later work on unified field theory as well, but emphasized their usefulness differently, just as his later recollections of how he found general relativity gradually changed. These altered recollections were not only the consequence of his new, highly mathematical unification program, but also served as an advertisement for that program: Einstein enlisted idealizations of his self as justification for his highly controversial work.
(November 21: Tarja Knuuttila)
"Modeling, Representing and Experimenting in the Study of Genetic Circuits"
ABSTRACT: In philosophical discussion models have traditionally been understood as representations. However, there is a growing body of literature that focuses on the features which modeling and experimentation share with each other. I will discuss the relationship between modeling, representation and experimentation through the case of mathematical and synthetic modeling within synthetic biology. Synthetic models are engineered genetic circuits that are built from genetic material and implemented in a natural cell environment. Typically, mathematical models have been used as their blueprints. As concrete engineered things synthetic models can be considered as experimental objects that share the characteristics of both models and experiments. I will discuss how the triangulation of mathematical and synthetic modeling has led to new insights that would have been difficult to generate by either modeling or experimentation alone.

"Vulnerable Subjects, Vulnerable Knowledge: Childrens Chemical Testing Programs in the United States and European Union"
ABSTRACT: Methods for identifying health risks in children and the very characterization of children as a vulnerable population have undergone significant transformations in recent decades. Attention to the risks posed by industrial chemicals has expanded from waste streams to commercial products, and from surveying the environment for known toxins to mapping the body burdens of hundreds of synthetic substances especially potentially endocrine disrupting chemicals found in humans. This talk presents findings from a historical and sociological research project concerning long-term testing programs in the United States and Europe. In both settings, children came to be understood as vulnerable to synthetic compounds found in breast milk or absorbed through exposure to cleaning compounds and plastic toys. Test methods, especially plans to recruit minority participants through financial incentives, proved more controversial in the United States than in the European Union. At the same time, EU member states carried out competing studies and regulators found it impossible to integrate test results. Furthermore, issues of cooperation among otherwise competing firms and between the industry and government regulators plagued efforts in the United States, while the complexity of fitting childrens testing into a major new regulatory framework for chemicals slowed testing in Europe. The talk presents an analysis of testing programs and offers historical and comparative insight on initiatives intended to generate new regulatory knowledge that is disruptive to existing governance systems and the social roles occupied by physicians, industry, government regulators, and health-oriented NGOs.

I would love to see video of this panel, so why not make it official Nerdist video of the panel. Im not asking for fancy, just one camera seeing the stage. Please try to do for fans not in CA. Thanks

- Very prettyReview by Cassandra
I was so sad when I had to return these. They were so pretty the product was nice in great condition neatly packed. BUT they were to dark for her wedding colors. We were tempted to change them these sashes where so pretty just shiny and bright. Like little crystals where on them and you could see them when the light hit them. You will not be let down if you order these and the price is so nice sashes like these run for 20 dollars in some stores. As a Wedding Planner I am so in love with this website. It saves me money and my brides also. Great Buy(Posted on 3/30/12)

Immediate Family
About Doctor Fuller Lowry
Birth: Jan. 8, 1881 Elrod Robeson County North Carolina, USA
Death: Aug. 13, 1977 Lumberton Robeson County North Carolina, USA
Doctor Fuller was the youngest son of Rev. Calvin and Maria Sampson Lowry.
He married Jessie Mae Hatcher on Sep. 5, 1906 in Robeson county, North Carolina. Their marriage produced four sons and four daughters. His older brother, Rev. Edmond Lowry, married Jessie's older sister, Sally Helen Hatcher. After Jessie's death, he married Phelia Hunt.
He once served five Methodist churches in Bladen, Richmond, and Robeson counties simultaneously and influenced the building of ten Methodist churches. He served as a trustee of Pembroke State University (now UNC at Pembroke) for over twenty years, and in 1965, its Students Center was named in his honor.
The following was taken from the Aug. 15, 1977 edition of THE ROBESONIAN:
Funeral services for the Rev. D. F. Lowry, 96, who died Saturday will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday at First United Methodist Church in Pembroke. Burial will be in the Lumbee Memorial Gardens.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Phelia Hunt Lowry; one daughter, Mrs. Ouida F. Lowry Bailey of Wayland, Mass.; four sons, Dr. Earl C. Lowry of Des Moines, Iowa, Kermit Lowry of Bristol, Tenn., Fred Lowry of Pembroke, Bruce Lowry of Dallas, Tex.; one sister, Mrs. Nancy Lowry Revels of Pembroke; 11 grandchildren.
Mr. Lowry survived his first wife, Mrs. Jessie Hatcher Lowry, by 36 years. Also deceased are three daughters, Mrs. Lessie L. Blakeslee, Mrs. Lorraine Evans, and Mrs. Cynthia B. Akers.
The Rev. J. J. Juren, pastor of First United Methodist Church, will officiate at the service. He will be assisted by the Rev. Lafon C. Vereen and the Rev. Harvey Lowry.
The family will be at Revels Funeral Home Monday from 6:30 - 9 p.m.
The following was taken from the Aug. 16, 1977 edition of THE ROBESONIAN:
A patriarch of Robeson County goes to his final resting place today. The Rev. D. F. Lowry has reached the end of a lifetime extending beyond the normal span. At 96, he had witnessed changes in the world about him that few men of his generation were privileged to see.
The first graduate of the Normal School at Pates in 1905, Lowry typefied interest in education among members of the Indian race in this county. He went on to business college and a university in other states, but returned to his native Robeson to make his career.
As a rural mail carrier and as a Methodist minister, Lowry worked among the people, serving their needs, sharing their sorrows, and sustaining their hopes. He became virtually a symbol of stability and survival. Meanwhile, the school he had attended grew into a university, helped along the way by his service as a trustee.
A patriarch, by dictionary definition, is "one of the elders or leading older members of a community," which he was. Also, "a venerable old man," which he was in part. Venerable, yes. Old, he never seemed to be. In his 90's, he remained an active participant in community and church affairs. Until his 90th birthday he left it up to other people to guess his age, and enjoyed their underestimation of it.
A man of strong convictions about religion, Lowry held numerous pastorates, conducted a radio program, wrote a "Know Your Bible" newspaper column. He could debate the meaning of the Scriptures with anyone, quoting chapter and verse to support his interpretations - some of them tradition, others reflecting his individual concepts.
A peaceable man, Lowry was proud of his family heritage. A nephew of the famous Indian outlaw, Henry Berry Lowry, he served his own generation in ways that befitted the changing times. He was a prime mover in winning recognition for the Indians of Robeson under the name Lumbee, derived from the river that flows through their homeland. He defended that name against attempts to get it changed, pointing out the distinction earned, here an in other parts of the country, by individuals identified with it.
In this, his last summer, a young Lowry with family ties in Robeson became the top graduate of Harvard College, with athletic as well as scholastic honors. An outdoor drama telling the story of the Indians ("Strike at the Wind") was just ending its second season, in an ampitheatre built on the site he had proposed for it. In his home town, the new buildings of Pembroke State University, the outgrowth of the little school in his youth, towered over the horizon.
Pursuing the even tenor of his ways, giving his leadership and support to the advancement of his fellow man, and his devotion to God, the Rev. Doctor Fuller Lowry lived to see the culmination of his patient and persistent efforts, and the translation of his vision into reality.
- **NOTE: In 1905, he received the first diploma from what is presently known as the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. In July 2007, the Heritage Walk was dedicated to serve as a permanent monument to all of the university's graduates from 1905 to 1954. Doctor was honored by having his name engraved on a brick in the Heritage Walk walkway in front of Old Main, the oldest building on the campus.

When trying to understand the monetary policy function of the Fed, who better to talk to than the recently retired vice chairman of the Board of Governors and 40-year Fed veteran Donald Kohn? He now works as a Senior Fellow for the Brookings Institution. He believes that an independent central bank is the best way to control money supply to achieve price stability.
Of course, there are other ways in which monetary policy could be conducted. One option would be to put the government directly in charge of monetary policy. For example, the Treasury could do it, or Congress could directly vote on changes to interest rates or policy shifts.
"There tends to be an inflation bias to central banking when (monetary policy is) closely controlled in the political process," Kohn explains. He says history has shown that politicians worried about re-election tend to engage in short-term monetary policy easing to stimulate the economy, while ignoring long-term price stability. This can lead to excessive inflation.
"Periodic bank panics occurred under the gold standard; the Fed was founded to deal with those."
Another way to conduct monetary policy could be to peg currency to a commodity like gold. The U.S. used to take this approach through the gold standard. With this strategy, some think you don't need a Fed, because the quantity and value of the currency depend on the quantity of the commodity. Kohn says that this approach can be inflexible and dangerous:
Periodic bank panics occurred under the gold standard; the Fed was founded to deal with those. And you're at the mercy of the supply of gold in the world, and its distribution among countries. You get situations as had occurred in the 1920s, when some countries accumulated large volumes of gold and they put downward pressure on the price levels of other countries that didn't have those large quantities of gold. It wasn't until after the U.S. went off the gold standard that we were able to begin emerging from the (Great) Depression.
He believes central bankers can do a better job of achieving price stability and other objectives with more flexibility than a commodity standard that ties the money supply to rigid rules.
If Not the Fed, Then Who?
This is not meant to be an exhaustive argument proving that an independent central bank is utterly necessary. Instead, these are just a few reasons why those with first-hand Fed experience believe that having a central bank like the Fed is better than other alternatives. And remember, quibbling over what objectives at which a central bank should aim as a part of its monetary policy philosophy isn't an argument against Fed; it's argument for reform. If you were to get rid of the central bank entirely, then you would need to find other regulators and/or mechanisms to take over its essential responsibilities. And as the sources above explain, trying to do so could get sticky.

The Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) at Lone Star College-Montgomery recently honored Nancy Price with the organization�s 2010 Instructor of the Year award. Price, a certified music practitioner and a recognized instructor of the mountain dulcimer instrument, has been with ALL for more than seven years as both a member and an instructor.
�I definitely don�t go around �tootin� my own horn,� but this is pretty fantastic,� said the silver-haired Price. �It�s a real honor to be recognized; I was flabbergasted when I found out.�
Price is the instructor of the Beginning Mountain Dulcimer and Dulcimer II classes. She is a member of the North Harris County Dulcimer Society and previously, served as music director for the society.
�I enjoy helping students at all levels, even those who take the dulcimer right out of the box at the first class,� said Price. �It�s a simple but sophisticated instrument, but I can usually help any student leave the first class with enough to play a recognizable tune.�
Price began playing the mountain dulcimer, also known as the Appalachian dulcimer, in 1985, but her interest in music began much earlier.
�When I was about 10 years old, I had a great desire to play the guitar because I really wanted an instrument that I could sing along with,� recalled Price. �But the owner of the music store wouldn�t sell me one because he said, �Girls don�t play cowboy guitar.��
Years later, Price told that story to a co-worker, who encouraged her to take guitar lessons at the nearest community college�Lone Star College-North Harris. Price looked into it, but due to her busy schedule, the only music lessons she could manage were dulcimer lessons.
Although she had never heard of the dulcimer, Price greatly enjoyed it. She took the same class over and over again until she had mastered the instrument.
�When I first started playing and wasn�t that great, everyone wanted me to play for them and sing for them,� said Price. �Now that I can play�and play well�no one really asks me to play for them anymore!�
LSC-Montgomery�s ALL organization offers the dulcimer classes both in the fall and in the spring. No prerequisites or formal music training are necessary.
�Each semester I am amazed because new students keep coming out of the woodwork for the class,� said Price. �It�s just such a delight to teach and see the students light up when they get a little morsel.�
Alumni from past dulcimer classes have played at community events including Senior Day for the Montgomery County Fair & Rodeo and during ALL�s Open House events.
Price is a native �Houston-Heights Texan,� who currently lives in Porter with her husband. She has four children, 10 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
The ALL program offers older, active adults non-credit classes and social activities for continued intellectual and personal growth. For a small, annual membership fee, area residents have access to a variety of lectures, workshops, art, and computer classes, as well as trips to local destinations. Classes are taught or facilitated by a variety of individuals who represent a wide range of expertise and life experiences. These include current and former professors, subject matter experts, guest lecturers, and hobbyists.
Each of the five colleges within the Lone Star College System offer continuing education for older, active adults through the ALL organization. Course offerings and program events vary with each campus.
For more information about LSC-Montgomery�s Academy for Lifelong Learning, call (936) 273-7259 or visit www.LoneStar.edu/all-montgomery.
LSC-Montgomery is located at 3200 College Park Drive, one-half mile west of Interstate 45, between Conroe and The Woodlands. For more information about the college, call (936) 273-7000, or visit www.LoneStar.edu/montgomery.
With more than 69,000 students in credit classes for fall 2010, and a total enrollment of more than 85,000, Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area, and the fastest-growing community college system in Texas.

Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums that gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. If you suffer from periodontal disease your gums may turn red, swell, and bleed easily. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth causing pockets (spaces) to form. Plaque can also harden into a rough, porous substance known as calculus (or tartar). This can occur both above and below the gum line. As periodontal diseases progress, the supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate which leads to tooth loss.
We use the latest techniques and procedures available to help fight this disease. Treatment options depend on the stage the disease is at. Non-surgical procedures are available if caught early.
We offer other treatment options for esthetic and cosmetic solutions for individuals with irregular gum lines or tissue recession.
Gingivitis, treat it early
If caught early, gingivitis can be treated fairly easily and effectively. A small mirror and a probing tool is used to spot bleeding gums. The more spots that bleed, the more likely your gum disease is severe. Hard mineral deposits (tartar) above and below the gum line are a problem area that is usually addressed during this treatment, as are areas where your gums are pulling away from your teeth and pockets have formed between your teeth and gums. Deeper pockets indicate severe gum disease. X-rays of your teeth may be taken to look for bone damage and other problems. We are in a unique position to catch gum disease early during regular check-ups and quickly move to a periodontal treatment plan that suits each patients needs.
Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure to remove calcified deposits on roots of teeth. These deposits harbor bacteria and are directly related to the initiation and progression of bone loss and periodontal disease. In many instances this procedure is performed under local anesthesia along with conscious I.V. sedation. Dr. Gaspari will use specially designed instruments that will slide between your roots and gums. Scaling and root planing may be the first step in treating moderate and severe disease. In many instances, surgery is necessary following scaling and root planing to prevent progression of periodontal disease, and correct problems that the disease has caused. This minimally invasive procedure may leave your gums feeling sore for a few days, along with temporary increased sensitivity to cold and sweets. Medications will be prescribed to help decrease the chance of infection and to relieve any discomfort.
Osseous Surgery
Regardless of the thoroughness or frequency of brushing and flossing your teeth periodontal disease will continue to progress unless the pockets surrounding your teeth are reduced to maintainable depths. The progression of periodontal disease often goes undetected until the bone holding your tooth disappears (atrophy) and your tooth becomes loose and must be removed. The disease progression can be halted if treated surgically at an early stage. The procedure fills in the areas of irregular bone caused by the disease. The gum tissue is then repositioned and secured with dissolving sutures to allow better access to remove bacteria on a daily basis.
Gummy smile or uneven gum line
If your teeth look too short and your smile is too gummy or your gums cover too much of some teeth while leaving the others the right length, crown lengthening might be the solution. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the tooth. Your gum line is then sculpted to give you the perfect smile.
Long teeth / exposed roots
In some cases, receding gums cause the tooth root to become exposed, which makes your teeth look long and unsightly. Periodontal disease is sometimes the culprit behind long teeth and exposed roots. Soft tissue grafts and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots, to reduce further gum recession and to protect vulnerable roots from decay.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Tissue grafting can help prevent many serious oral health problems, reverse tissue loss and save your smile. Dr. Gaspari can perform tissue grafting using a regenerative tissue matrix, which is harvested tissue from a certified tissue bank. This procedure used to involve harvesting a piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth to serve as the graft material. Fortunately today, technology has allowed us to use donor tissue to perform the same procedures with only one surgical site. This allows tissue to heal with less possible complications. Every patient is different so ask us about tissue grafting for any procedure you have on your gums.
Bone Grafting
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often results in a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants. We now have the ability to grow bone where needed. This gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, and it also gives us a chance to more effectively restore esthetic appearance and functionality.
Dental Implants
Dental implants have completely changed restorative dentistry. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that their teeth appear natural and that their facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing.
The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and Dr. Gaspari will address considerations. Your questions and concerns are important to us. Our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
