Vivitek bills its new H5080 1080p Home Theater Projector as a "Professional-Grade 1080p DLP Home Theater Projector for the Consumer Enthusiast". We couldn't agree more. If you're not familiar with the Vivitek name yet you will be. The videophile sites and magazines are already singing the praises of the H5080's price/performance ratio.
We're talking about 1600 lumens at a 25,000:1 contrast ratio (Full On/Full Off) with Full HD (1920 x 1080p) resolution. And the H5080 boasts of the same Texas Instruments BrilliantColor DMD DLP (Digital Micromirror Device Digital Light Processor) DarkChip2 panel (the part that forms the image) as its better-known competitors.
Texas Instrument's DLP chips are regarded by many as the best projector panels available. They produce beautiful life-like images even if there's ambient light in the room. Plus they don't require filters that have to be cleaned and replaced, saving you time and money over other designs.
So far, so great. But Vivitek wasn't settling for a merely great picture so it went several steps further. First, it included DNX MotionEngine technology to eliminate motion artifacts (often called "judder" or "blur"). The result: Dramatically improved motion performance.
DynamicBlack solves another problem. The H5080 excels at providing bright, vivid, unforgettable images. Most of the time that's exactly what you want. But what about a film noir or horror movie with lots of dark scenes? DynamicBlack optimizes detail in darker scenes so you can enjoy the details without having to increase the brightness. Imagine! A projector that can help make scary movies even scarier!
You'd expect a "professional grade" projector to project 720p, 1080i and 1080p images and the H5080 will meet and exceed your expectations. Those images will be carried to the projector in pure digital form thanks to its three HDMI 1.3 inputs.
If you take your H5080 overseas it'll be right at home. In addition to NTSC it can handle many variations of the PAL and SECAM video signal standards. Plus its universal power supply can handle power from 100 – 240 volts.
Add in compatibility with Macintosh and PC video standards up to a maximum of 1152 x 870 on the Mac and UXGA (1600 x 1200) on the PC and you have a home theater projector that would be welcome in classrooms and boardrooms too.
The more you use your H5080 the more you'll value it. So it comes with a port for an optional Kensington lock and a security bar through which you thread an optional steel cable. Your H5080 can do a lot but the one thing you don't want it doing is "walking away".
- 1600 Lumens And a 25,000:1 Contrast Ratio (Full On/Full Off)
- That's plenty of projection power for watching a DVD or Blu-ray disc in your media room or making presentations in a medium-sized classroom, lecture hall or meeting room, even with a fair amount of ambient light.
- TI DMD DLP Image Panel With BrilliantColor and DarkChip2 Technologies
- Texas Instruments' patented DMD DLP imager features an innovation TI calls BrilliantColor. Unlike other technologies such as LCD that use just three primary colors to produce the image, DLP Technology with BrilliantColor uses up to six separate colors. Color accuracy is paramount to a quality image. BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. This combination produces a new level of color performance that increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50% over DLP projectors without BrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images.
- Pixelworks DNX Motion Engine
- This technology creates smoother pictures by eliminating judder and blur in fast-moving scenes.
- DynamicBlack Optimizes Detail in Dark Scenes
- You want bright scenes bright and you want dark scenes dark. Getting bright scenes right is fairly easy. Getting realistic-looking dark scenes without sacrificing detail is a quite a bit trickier. With DynamicBlack your H5080's handling of details in dark scenes compares favorably with professional projectors costing ten times as much.
- Three HDMI 1.3 Inputs with Deep Color
- The H5080 has three HDMI 1.3 input terminals for digital transmission without image degradation. The HDMI input terminals support Deep Color, which provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) color depth for smooth gradation between colors, and natural, lifelike images.
- ±15° Automatic Keystone Correction
- Automatic keystone correction technology instantly projects a square image even when the projector is set up at a steep offset angle to the screen.
- Ready For The World
- This projector has a 100 to 240 V international power supply; it can accept and project video in the NTSC (M, 3.58/4.43 MHz), PAL (B, D, G, H, I, M, N) and SECAM (B, D, G, K, K1, L) standards and its onscreen display (OSD) offers you 17 languages from which to choose.
- Closed Captioning Includes Your Whole Audience
- Your H5080 can display closed captioning from sources that provide it. If a family member is hard of hearing or just wants to catch the game in the middle of a noisy party, closed captioning sure comes in handy.

The Night Trains
The kitchen sink after 10 pm
Is a quiet place where I can
Open the window to the gentle rain,
Listen to the approaching rumble
Of the train as it crosses the trestle
And slides into town blowing its whistle
Across the river and letting it echo
Down the dark streets.
The night breeze
Filled with cut grass,
And newly hatched leaves
Reaches for my face, caressing and soft.
The patter of rain sooths my soul.
I wash the dishes before bed.
I turn out the lights, and turn the locks.
I settle down, by degrees,
As the train's slow thunder fades
Into the distance.
Where do the trains go,
One after the other,
Through the night?

In a step toward understanding possible genetic differences in smoking behaviors, a team of researchers co-led by SRI International has identified a genetic marker associated with smoking quantity in people of African ancestry. The study's findings may help guide future public health decisions related to smoking, because the more people smoke, the higher their risk of lung cancer.
The genetic variant, called rs2036527, appears to function as a marker of smoking quantity in African Americans, predicting the number of cigarettes smoked per day. It is on the same nicotine receptor gene, located on Chromosome 15, as another marker previously identified in people of European descent. Earlier studies have also shown that this gene plays a role in limiting nicotine intake by affecting how pleasurable nicotine is, which in turn affects how much nicotine is consumed.
Findings from the Study of Tobacco Use in Minority Populations (STOMP) Genetics Consortium study are published in the May 22, 2012 issue of Translational Psychiatry (part of Nature Publishing Group).
To find the genetic variants for smoking behavior, researchers combined 13 genome-wide association studies. The result included data for genetics and smoking behavior for more than 32,000 African Americans.
Although African Americans are less likely to smoke than European Americans, if they do start smoking, they tend to start smoking later in life, are less likely to quit smoking, and die more often from smoking-related lung cancer. Smoking is the leading cause of premature death among African Americans. STOMP investigators did not assess lung cancer risk, but other researchers have found that the genetic marker (rs2036527) is associated with risk of lung cancer in African Americans.
"This study may have implications for personalized medicine and the need to identify targets for drug discovery." said Sean P. David, M.D., D.Phil., research physician and dir

A key aspect of using generics is being able to compare different objects. Consider an example where you are comparing different species of felines. Java Code: public class ComparableFeline implements Comparable<ComparableFeline> {
public int compareTo(ComparableFeline arg0) {
return 0;
So if you wanted to narrow ComparableFeline for use only among different types of domesticated cats instead of other felines such as
public class ComparableFeline implements Comparable<ComparableFeline> {
public int compareTo(ComparableFeline arg0) {
return 0;
Updated 11-30-2011 at 09:37 AM by Advanced Java
Generics were added to java in release 1.5. It allows you to avoid needing to cast objects as they are read from a collection. Instead you tell the compiler what types of objects that you want to hold in the collection. Often it is difficult to know which generic to use when you have two or more who seem to be able to complete the same function. Consider the choice between whether to use a list or an array. Now a key thing to remember is that arrays are covariant and know and enforce their element
Unlike with arrays, it is important to remember with generics that is not possible to upcast an object from its superclass to its subclass. So for example, this will create a compile time error. Java Code: import java.util.*;
public class NonCovariantGenerics {
// Compile Error: incompatible types:
List<Shape> slist = new ArrayList<Rectangle>();
In this listing List of Rectangle is not type-equivalent to a List of Shape, even if an Rectangle
import java.util.*;
public class NonCovariantGenerics {
// Compile Error: incompatible types:
List<Shape> slist = new ArrayList<Rectangle>();
In my last tip, I showed how you can use a wildcard with generics. It is also possible to use a supertype wildcards. In this case the wildcard is bounded by any base class of a particular class, by specifying <? super MyClass> or even using a type parameter: <? super T> (although you cannot give a generic parameter a supertype bound; that is, you cannot say <T super MyClass>). This allows you to safely pass a typed object into a generic type. Thus, with supertype wildcards you
When you as a programmer decide to use an unbounded wildcard <?>, it appears to mean anything. and so using an unbounded wildcard seems equivalent to using a raw type. There are time that the compiler is indifferent as to using raw type or <?>. If you use <?> it can be considered as a decoration. When you are using the raw type, the generic parameter can hold any type. In this example I show an important use of unbounded wildcards. If you are dealing with multiple generic parameters,
Programmers are often not aware of how to create objects that can be reused. The key to understanding how to create reusable objects is that they must be immutable. So for example if you a running a loop in which each loop a string instance is required, rather than create a new instance every time it executes, you simply reuse the existing instance.
Rather than create a new String instance. Java Code: public void BuildingLoop{
int total = 10;
for(int i=0;
public void BuildingLoop{
int total = 10;
for(int i=0;
Continuing with our last tip on immutable objects, we now look at re-using mutable objects. Although you cannot modify a mutable object, you can avoid unnecessarily waste memory by reusing the existing instance. So consider for example mutable Date objects. Once the values are computed, they are never modified. So for example if you a running a loop in which each loop a string instance is required, rather than create a new instance every time it executes, you simply reuse the existing instance.
Sometimes is might be necessary to pass generic containers to pre-Java5 code. In those cases, it is possible that the old-style code can corrupt your containers. In order to address this issue, there are a set of utilities in the java.util.Collections package to address the issues around type-checking. There are a number of static methods designed for this. They all take the container that you are checking as the first argument and the type you want to enforce as the second argument. They are shown
Another thing that many programmers forget when they make objects that they need to compare in their applications is that it is not enough to assume that if your object is a subclass of Object, that the hashCode method that you can use it in a HashMap, Hashtable or HashSet. In fact, the Java specification states that you must always override the hashCode when ever you override the equals method. Otherwise, you have violated one of the key tenants of Java in not ensuring that equal objects have equal
Due to erasure, exception use is limited with generics. As exceptions are know at both compile and at run time, it renders redundant the use of catch clauses. This also means that a generic class cannot inherit directly or indirectly from Throwable.
One can though use type parameters in the throws clause of a method declaration. This will allow you to write generic code that varies with the type of a checked exception: Java Code: import java.util.List;
public interface
import java.util.List;
public interface

Wasilla public library back in the news again
The Wasilla Public Library was back in the news again last week after local paper Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman reported that the library had decided not to shelve two children's books dealing with homosexuality donated by a gay activist in California. The two books were "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Roommate," both of which are controversial titles whose presence in libraries and schools is regularly challenged.
The library had already been the subject of much media scrutiny last month, after questions were raised about conversations on censorship that Sarah Palin had with the town's librarian during her tenure as mayor.
Fittingly, the books were donated to the Wasilla library during Banned Books Week, the American Library Association's celebration of the freedom to read. (Fittingly, because both books are so often on the Banned Books list.)

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Email Michael to talk about hockey.
All signs point toward Mikko Koivu returning Monday night against the Calgary Flames.
Koivu, who has missed 17 games since undergoing ankle surgery Jan. 6, skated on a line with Dany Heatley and Charlie Coyle throughout Sunday's practice at Braemar and retained his spot on the top power-play unit.
Coach Mike Yeo said he had a great practice and said a few times, "we're excited to get him back."
Officially though, the Wild will take the decision into Monday morning to make sure Koivu's ankle feels good after he wakes up and after one last morning skate.
In practice today, the Zach Parise-Mikael Granlund-Jason Pominville line stayed intact.
"It's the coaches who make the decisions and players, it's our job to create chemistry with different players," Koivu said. "Injuries are a part of the game and you're going to have different guys and different lines. I think with Heater, it would be easy because we've played a lot of games together and with Charlie, [I've played with him]. I think it's a matter of time more for myself to get on their speed of the game so I can help them out.
"I don't think it really matters right now who you're playing with. I think every guy is playing great and we've had to adjust the lines all season long and every single night it's been some combination or some individual who steps up and makes the play to get us points. It's huge, but like I said, it's more about me getting to the level I want to help them and it helps that I've played with those two guys in the past."
Yeo likes the makeup of the line.
"It's a big line," Yeo said. "First off, three guys that can control the puck, three guys that are really tough to defend. Mikko's had chemistry with both Heater and Charlie in the past, too. Hopefully there's not too much of a feeling out process. But I just think that it gives us an opportunity to have a line that's out there with the ability to create offense every night that's hard to play against."
Matt Cooke skated with Kyle Brodziak and Nino Niederreiter and Erik Haula centered Torrey Mitchell and Justin Fontaine. Stephane Veilleux looks like he'd be the extra if Koivu returns.
So, basically, the trickle down effect of Koivu's return initially would have Coyle move from center to right wing, Niederreiter to go from second line to third, Fontaine from third to fourth. Or, basically exactly what we predicted on the blog last week.
This is a good thing. Basically, as Parise said today, every team has its opening night roster every year and it never quite works out to what you want it to be all year long because of injuries.
But since the second period of the second game of the season when Coyle sprained his knee, the Wild has never had its full roster together. Against Calgary, if Koivu and defenseman Marco Scandella return, it will.
Koivu's return makes the Wild deeper and could potentially give the Wild four deep lines.
The Wild also suddenly has two formidable power-play units. Koivu, the all-time Wild leader in power-play points, took his spot again with Parise. Coyle, to give the Wild a needed righty down low, moves to the top unit with Pominville and Ryan Suter at the points. The second unit consisted of Heatley-Granlund-Niederreiter with Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon up top. That's three lefties down low, which could make things tricky, so it wouldn't be shocking if Fontaine gets some time or they move Spurgeon down to that left circle position to attempt one-timers.
Suter and Spurgeon were a pair today, while Scandella was with Brodin. The third pair, if Scandella returns, will be two of Keith Ballard, Clayton Stoner and Nate Prosser. I don't know how you take Prosser out the way he's been playing, so if Scandella returns, Ballard or Stoner will likely be taken out.
Darcy Kuemper will make his 15th consecutive start.
Scandella says he's ready, but like with Koivu, Yeo said they'll take the final decision into Monday morning.
Monday will be the first-ever Mikael Granlund vs. Markus Granlund game. The younger Granlund will play his third NHL game. He was drafted in 2011 in St. Paul.
As for the game, Mikael Granlund said, "I feel really proud for my parents. It's very special."
Jason Zucker, by the way, skated on his own today.
That's it for now. Nothing new on the goalie front. Here's my column on the goalie trade front today. I think it goes to Wednesday. If the Wild's the only team out there really searching for a goalie, if I'm Chuck Fletcher, I use that as leverage to let acquisition prices for Jaroslav Halak or Marty Brodeur or whoever drop.
Again, Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., you can go over the 23-man roster as long as you don't go over the cap ceiling. So the Wild could very well carry three goalies the rest of the season. If the Wild has three goalies, that means one won't dress every game. That could create an interesting dynamic, but the Wild doesn't seen too concerned. As Fletcher always says, "I just want to win," so he's not going to worry about feelings.
And as we learned in the playoffs last year when suddenly Kuemper was playing games because Backstrom and Josh Harding got hurt, you can never have too much depth. It's better having more players than too little.
Speaking of depth, remember when the Wild was always a Mikko Koivu injury away from disaster every year? Pretty impressive that the team, which is 13-4-2 in 2014, is 11-4-2 without him. Says so much about the improved depth of the team and the job the Wild's youngsters have done to this point.
As Parise said, maybe all the long-term injuries the Wild has had this year, from Koivu to Parise to Harding to Spurgeon to Coyle to Granlund, has made the Wild a better team for these final 21 games.

The Bulgarian Border Police have taken delivery of two
additional AgustaWestland AW109 Power light twin-engine helicopters
and one AW139 medium twin-engine helicopter. The handover was
performed during an official ceremony held at Sofia Airport on
January 15th in the presence of representatives from the Bulgarian
Government, Border Police and several other dignitaries.
(L-R) Ugo Rossini, AgustaWestland, and Tsvetan Tsvetanov,
Govt. of Bulgaria
These helicopters will provide a reliable air surveillance
capability on the outer EU borders, as Bulgaria is expected to be a
Schengen Zone Member shortly. The delivery of the AW139 marks the
entrance of this helicopter model in the Bulgarian helicopter
market. Due to the outstanding capabilities of these two
AgustaWestland helicopter types, the Bulgarian Border Police is
able to enhance its airborne law enforcement capabilities
throughout the country and to patrol its sea and land borders. The
two AW109 Powers and the AW139 add to an AW109 Power delivered in
2010, enlarging the Bulgarian Border Police's helicopter fleet to
four aircraft.
The AW109 Power is equipped with advanced avionics and
mission-dedicated equipment, including a NVG-compatible cockpit,
moving map display, weather radar, searchlight, external
loudspeaker, HD FLIR, digital video downlink, video recorder,
mission console and a sophisticated integrated radio suite for
tactical communications and airborne command & control
The AW109 Power law enforcement variant is designed to perform a
wide range of security duties to meet the changing demands of law
enforcement: patrol, surveillance and tactical operations, state
border control, counter terrorism, search and rescue, armed
interdiction and other homeland security missions. Numerous law
enforcement and security agencies around the world have chosen the
AW109 Power to fulfil their requirements in Japan, China, Italy,
the USA, Latvia, Chile, United Kingdom and Slovenia. Over 470
helicopters have been sold in almost 50 countries worldwide to date
to perform law enforcement, EMS, VIP/corporate transport and
harbour pilot shuttle missions.
The Bulgarian Border Police's AW139 will provide a greatly
enhanced aerial policing service in the country as well as a
comprehensive SAR capability over the sea and in mountainous areas.
The Bulgarian Border Police's AW139 features an advanced range of
dedicated mission equipment including an Enhanced Ground Proximity
Warning System (EGPWS) and Traffic Collision Avoidance System
(TCAS), moving map, weather/search radar, emergency floats,
double rescue hoist, rappelling rings, external loudspeaker,
searching light, NVG-compatible cockpit, HD FLIR, video downlink,
mission console and a sophisticated integrated radio suite for
tactical communications and airborne command & control

The one whose success spurred the construction of Market Square Arena, the retro-classic Fieldhouse—regarded by many as the finest basketball venue in the country—and, ultimately, downtown revitalization?Read more

Going to be great place when they finish the dorms. Bathroom and shower was in the lobby which was awkward. Door had no lock yet. Wifi was great in the lobby and resturant but there was none in our room. Price was high for not being in the fort. Overall staff was friendly and things were ok.

A really good hotel on the quieter south side of the city, but still only 5 mins walk to the main gate of the fort. Staff were very helpful, organising free transfers to/from the train station. Amazing views and good food from the rooftop restaurant. Would highly recommend staying here.

I took the dorm in Tokya palace for 3 days and really enjoyed my stay over here. The place is maintained very clean and the restaurant above is one of the best in the towns in terms of price and view of the fort. The best part is the swimming pool within the hotel.

FreeSeas Announces The Results Of Its 2010 Annual General Meeting Of Shareholders; 1:5 Reverse Stock Split To Be Effective October 1, 2010
PIRAEUS, Greece, Sept. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FreeSeas Inc. (Nasdaq:FREE) (Nasdaq:FREEZ) ("FreeSeas" or the "Company"), a transporter of dry-bulk cargoes through the ownership and operation of a fleet of seven Handysize vessels and two Handymax vessels, today announced the official results of its 2010 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held on September 30, 2010 in Athens, Greece. The following proposals were approved by the Company's shareholders:
- Focko Nauta and Keith Bloomfield were elected to the Board of Directors, to serve until the 2013 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders;
- The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation were amended to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of one share for every five shares outstanding; and
- The appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 was ratified.
Details on the Reverse Stock Split
The Company anticipates that its common stock will begin trading on a split adjusted basis when the market opens on October 1, 2010. Beginning on that date, FreeSeas' common stock will trade for 20 trading days under ticker symbol "FREED" to provide notice of the reverse stock split. After this period, the symbol will revert to "FREE." The common shares will also trade under a new CUSIP number Y26496 144 effective October 1, 2010. In addition, the Company's outstanding Class Z warrants will be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of the warrants and trade under the symbol "FREEZD" for 20 trading days, and then revert to "FREEZ."The reverse stock split will consolidate five shares of common stock into one share of common stock at a par value of $.001 per share. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding common shares will be reduced from 32,437,480 to 6,487,496, excluding outstanding and unexercised share options and warrants and subject to adjustment for fractional shares. The reverse stock split will not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage of FreeSeas' common shares or warrants, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split would result in any shareholder owning a fractional share. Fractional shares of common stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Video exclusive: Jermain Defoe frustrated at lack of playing time for Spurs in the Premier League this season
No one loves scoring goals more than Jermain Defoe. In an exclusive interview with ITV's Ned Boulting, the Spurs striker admitted that he has found this season "frustrating" at times. Defoe has thrived in the Europa League as a regular starter, but in the Premier League he has thus far had to play second fiddle to Spanish team-mate Roberto Soldado.
"I love my football and I suppose if you're not getting an opportunity to score goals, obviously you're not going to be happy. At the same time, it is a good time to be at the club now," Defoe said.
"Football's a funny game, a lot of ups and downs… I think it's important to keep cool and wait for an opportunity to show the manager that I should be playing.
"I've only started one [Premier] league game, so obviously as a player you're gonna think 'wow, what more do I need to do!' … I can't explain it… it's not my decision.
"We'll see what happens."

Petition for reconsideration filed in North Bennington school closureBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | November 13,2012NORTH BENNINGTON - After a vote to close the North Bennington Graded School passed by 26 votes in October, a petition, which has 130 signatures may force a second revote, making three votes total, on replacing the public school with an independent school.
Gail Mauricette, school clerk for North Bennington, said a petition calling for a revote had been submitted to her on Tuesday. State law requires a petition calling for a revote have the signatures of 5 percent of registered voters.
For a vote in the North Bennington school district which includes the village and parts of the town of Shaftsbury, Mauricette said a successful petition would have needed about 80 signatures. However, she said she had not yet had a chance to check all the signatures and make sure the names match up with the voter checklist.
Joyce Scarey, who turned in the petitions on Tuesday, said she believed the people who signed them wanted the school to remain a public school and not become a private school.
In March, voters overwhelmingly approved ballot questions on Town Meeting Day that would have allowed the school board in North Bennington, called the North Bennington Prudential Committee, to close the school and lease the building and its equipment to the board of trustees for an independent school called the Village School of North Bennington.
Independent schools must be approved by the Vermont Board of Education which tabled the request in May.
Over the summer, the school board decided to continue operation of the public school. Because the vote in March included language about closing the public school at the end of the 2011-12 school year, school board members said they believed they would need a new vote before moving forward with their plans.
The state school board also said they would need a second vote before approving the independent school to be sure it had voter support.
The October vote had two questions, both of which needed to pass in order for the public school to close. The first question, asking if the voters would give the school board permission to close the school, passed with 52.3 percent of the voters supporting the question in a 294-268 vote.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

"[A] quietly terrifying book. . . . It's hard not to feel a bit feverish at times while reading." —The Boston Globe
In The Viral Storm, award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have evolved side by side through history; how deadly viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu almost wiped us out in the past; and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic. He takes readers along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous research trips to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases and to explain the role that viruses have played in human evolution.
In a world where each new outbreak seems worse than the one before, Wolfe points the way forward, as new technologies are brought to bear to neutralize these viruses and even harness their power for the good of humanity. His provocative vision of the future will change the way we think about viruses, and perhaps remove a potential threat to humanity's survival.
NATHAN WOLFE is the Lorry I. Lokey Visiting Professor in Human Biology at Stanford University and the founder and CEO of Global Viral Forecasting, an independent research institute devoted to early detection and control of epidemics. He holds degrees from Stanford and Harvard and has been published in or profiled by Nature, Science, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Economist, Wired, Discover, Scientific American, NPR, Popular Science, Seed, and Forbes. In 2011 he was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. He lives in San Francisco.
Nathan Wolfe travels to the viral hot spots of the world, where viruses first jump from animals to humans. The scientist spends his days tracking emerging infectious diseases before they turn into global pandemics. More at NPR.org

Quite different story than I expected. Very well narrated, the voice of the narrator fits well on the character. The story makes you think; despite our messy past, we should see the future as an opportunity.
"Pepperperg's memoir"
A little bit self repeating story. I expected more about the actual studies. Anyway, nice to learn something new about the pioneer of animal cognition research.
