Watch My Morning Jacket Appear in Cartoon Form on "American Dad!"
By Tom Breihan on November 23, 2009 at 1:25 p.m. EST
Last night, My Morning Jacket appeared, in cartoon form, on the Seth MacFarlane show "American Dad!". The episode, titled "My Morning Straitjacket", is about what happens when the main character, CIA agent Stan Smith, suddenly becomes an obsessive MMJ fan. The members of the band played themselves in the episode. They didn't do much acting, but the episode featured a ton of their music, and footage of the band playing live aired during the show's end credits. Gigantically bearded comedian Zach Galifianakis also showed up, playing a bootlegger.
My Morning Jacket to Appear on "American Dad!"
By Tom Breihan on November 10, 2009 at 5:10 p.m. EST
UPDATE: MMJ's publicist reports that the episode will feature six songs from the band. Also, comedian and The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis will appear as an MMJ superfan.
Fans of both celestial Southern indie and crudely animated, reference-based Seth MacFarlane comedy will have a very good day on November 22. According to the MacFarlane fan site Stewie's Playground (via TwentyFourBit), My Morning Jacket will make a guest appearance, in animated form, on the November 22 episode of MacFarlane's show "American Dad!". From all available evidence, the show will pretty much center around the band. -
My Morning Jacket's Jim James to Release George Harrison Tribute EP

My Morning Jacket aren't doing much at the moment, but angelic-voiced frontman Jim James isn't using that band's downtime to sit around combing his gigantic beard. This fall, James will be on his grind.We already reported that the long-awaited self-titled album from Monsters of Folk, James's supergroup with Conor Oberst, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis, is due September 22 from Shangri-La in North America, Rough Trade in Europe, Spunk in Australia, and P-Vine in Japan. But before that album even drops, we'll hear even more new music from James.
On August 4, ATO will release Tribute To, James' EP of George Harrison covers, Billboard reports. Under the goofily adorable pseudonym Yim Yames, James takes on six of the late Beatle's songs. Two songs from Tribute To are Beatles jams that Harrison wrote, while the others come from the solo Harrison album All Things Must Pass.According to Billboard, James recorded the EP a few days after Harrison died in 2001; it's been sitting in the vault since then. James did the whole thing himself, on vocals and acoustic guitar. In the liner notes, James calls Harrison "a prime example of the healing power of music." The Tribute To tracklist is below.
Also, Billboard claims that Monsters of Folk are "expected to" tour in September.UPDATE: Hear Yim Yames' version of "Behind That Locked Door" here. Also, a portion of the proceeds from sales of Tribute To will go to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary.

-- The photographer and filmmaker Sam Erickson has been taking pictures of My Morning Jacket since 2002, which means he has photographic evidence of every conceivable Jim James facial hair permutation. And on May 22, "Still Moving", Erickson's exhibition of My Morning Jacket photos, will open at New York's Morrison Hotel Gallery. The exhibit, which will run for six weeks, will include 21 of Erickson's photos. Hand-printed, limited edition copies of the photos will also be for sale.
-- On May 25, Universal Republic will release Songs for Sorrow, the four-song EP that British glam-pop singer Mika recorded in collaboration with Final Fantasy mastermind Owen Pallett. A limited edition version of the EP will feature a special hardback art book.
-- Cale Parks: Best singing percussionist since Phil Collins? To Swift Mars, the new EP from the former Aloha/White Williams drummer, is due from Polyvinyl on August 4. Fellow Aloha alum T.J. Lipple recorded it. Before the EP drops, though, Parks will open this summer's Passion Pit/Harlem Shakes tour. He also contributes to the forthcoming Passion Pit album Manners.
-- Rewild, the debut full-length from so-cool-it-hurts Brooklyn psych-poppers Amazing Baby, will come out June 23 via Shangri-La Music. -
My Morning Jacket Prep Release Live EP, Jim James Does Charity Projects
By Ryan Dombal and Amy Phillips on April 3, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. EDT
My Morning Jacket may be able to sell out arenas and buy only the finest beard fluffers nowadays, but they haven't forgotten about the little people. The Kentucky boys are readying a new seven-song live EP recorded in their native Louisville to be released exclusively at the nation's finest indie music shops as part of Record Store Day, April 18.
The EP, dubbed Celebraci贸n De La Ciudad Natal, was recorded in 2008 at Louisville's own indie music haven, Ear-X-Tacy, as well as the city's picturesque Waterfront Park; it'll be available as a CD and in limited edition 10" double vinyl form via ATO. In a indie-minded statement about the release, the band wrote, "It is so important that we realize that it is our local businesses and people (and natural landscapes, but that's a different letter) that are what make different towns worth coming to." Don't expect a Best Buy-only DVD from these guys anytime soon.
And speaking of natural landscapes, MMJ leader Jim James recently lent his talents to an upcoming project with fellow Kentucky singer-songwriters Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore that aims to raise funds and awareness to help stop mountaintop removal coal mining, i.e., blowing up mountain ranges to get to coal.
"I was approached by Ben and Daniel to lend an ear and produce the project and to help shape the theme and sound," he wrote to us in an e-mail. "We set up a few mics in my living room and we all had a real old fashioned good time. Daniel's voice sounds like snowflakes and Ben's is the sword and together they form a knight in the snow." Imagery!
Those interested in learning more about halting mountaintop removal mining can head over to a website called I Love Mountains. And, seriously, who doesn't love mountains?
In a recent interview on internet radio program The Backline Show, Moore said the collaborative, Kentucky and Appalachia-themed release is nearly finished and should be out by fall.
But James' charitable givings don't end there. According to a recent post on the My Morning Jacket website, James also recently headed to New Orleans to record with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for an upcoming benefit album for Preservation Hall. And as previously reported, James will also perform alongside the likes of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Eddie Vedder at a benefit for the David Lynch Foundation (yes, that David Lynch) on April 4 at Radio City Music Hall.

Decemberists, LCD, Gnarls, Devendra, MMJ on Causes
By Tom Breihan on March 2, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. EST
Between Dark Was the Night and War Child Presents Heroes, it seems like virtually all the big indie bands that exist have already lent their talents to charity-benefit compilations this year. Apparently not! We're barely two months into 2009, and already we've got news about a third all-star benefit comp. Next up: Causes 2, a benefit for the victims of the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
The first Causes album, which came out in 2007, rounded up the likes of Animal Collective, Spoon, and the Shins. But the situation in Darfur hasn't gotten much better since then. So on May 5, Waxploitation will release Causes 2, the second in the series.
In his review of Dark Was the Night, Pitchfork's Scott Plagenhoef mentioned how that compilation, while great, painted a vaguely myopic picture of indie rock in general, sticking with textured, folk-informed stuff at the expense of rhythm and catharsis. That won't be an issue on Causes 2. The roster of contributors includes Dark Was the Night artists like My Morning Jacket and the Decemberists , but it also makes room for dance ( Diplo, Matthew Dear, LCD Soundsystem), noise (Black Moth Super Rainbow), soul (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Gnarls Barkley) and outright freakiness (Devendra Banhart, Tim & Eric). Pretty good lineup!
Whatever you think of the artists involved, though, the album is worth purchasing just because of where the money will go. Proceeds from the album will benefit Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam America. Hopefully things will get better in Darfur before we get Causes 3. -
My Morning Jacket Release iTunes-Only Live EP
By Tom Breihan on January 13, 2009 at 4:20 p.m. EST
Here's something kind of weird: My Morning Jacket, often cited as the best live band in the history of the universe, just recorded a live EP in a recording studio, and it kind of sounds like a new studio EP, with new versions of old songs. You figure it out.
MMJ's iTunes Live From Las Vegas at the Palms EP went up for sale today at (naturally) iTunes. The new collection features new versions of a bunch of songs from past MMJ albums. There's also one new one, "Dear Wife".This is the latest in a series of iTunes-only releases in which bands use the hyper-expensive studio at the Maloof-owned casino to record live versions of their old songs. Past entries in the series include EPs from Death Cab for Cutie, John Legend, Hinder, and Wolfmother.
MMJ also has a bunch of shows coming up in New Zealand, Australia and Japan, including a bunch with the touring Big Day Out festival (it's summer down there, see) and a couple opening for Big Day Out tourmate Neil Young:

Over the years he'll figure out how to channel that energy, but he's got a lot energy, a lot of good energy. You know he wants to win if he's breaking racquets like that. I think that's a good sign."

Chantilly is a census-designated place (CDP) located in western Fairfax County of Northern Virginia. Recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau as a census-designated place (CDP), the community population was 23,039 as of the 2010 census—down from 41,041 in 2000, due to the splitting off of parts of it to form new CDPs including Greenbriar and Fair Lakes. It is named after an early 19th-century mansion and farm.[3]
Chantilly is part of the Washington metropolitan area and is approximately 24 miles (39 km) from Washington, D.C.
Chantilly is home to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center annex of the National Air and Space Museum and the headquarters of the National Reconnaissance Office.
Chantilly was also home to the annual Bilderberg summit in 2002,[4] 2008 and 2012.[5]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2013) |
Chantilly was home to a number of colonial plantations in the 1700s, including "Sully," built by Richard Bland Lee I, George Richard Lee Turberville's "Leeton," and the John Hutchison Farm. Chantilly plantation was built on Leeton property prior to the Civil War. Cornelia Lee Turberville, who was born at Leeton and was the daughter of George Richard Lee Turberville & Henrietta Lee of Leeton, was given a portion of Leeton in 1817 when she married her cousin Charles Calvert Stuart. She named her plantation after her grandfather's plantation in Westmoreland County, VA - Richard Henry Lee - Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Chantilly plantation was burned down during the War by the Federal Troops in Feb 1863. The town retained the name of Chantilly.[15]
Growth of the village predominantly occurred during the 19th century, particularly following the construction of Little River Turnpike (Route 236) to Winchester.
The evolution of the Chantilly area into an outer suburb of Washington, D.C., gained momentum after 1980, as developers built residential subdivisions and commercial areas, filling in the farm land south of Dulles Airport. Chantilly does not have a concentrated downtown district; the Fair Oaks / Fair Lakes retail cluster spread out along I-66 provides a loose focus for retail and public activities.
Civil War[edit]
During the American Civil War on September 1, 1862, the Battle of Chantilly (or Ox Hill) was fought nearby. Following his victory at the Second Battle of Bull Run (or Second Manassas), Confederate General Robert E. Lee directed Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson to cross Bull Run on August 31 and sweep around the position of Major General John Pope's Union Army of Virginia at Centreville. Reaching the Little River Turnpike northwest of Centreville, Jackson turned southeastward toward Fairfax Court House (now Fairfax, Virginia) to strike in rear of Pope's army.
During September 1, Pope, apprised of Jackson's movement, began to withdraw toward Fairfax Court House. Late in the day, Jackson clashed with Union forces under Brigadier General Isaac Stevens and Major General Philip Kearny near Ox Hill, west of Fairfax. During the ensuing battle, which was fought amid a raging storm, both Union generals Stevens and Kearny were killed. The fighting ended at dusk, and Pope's army continued its withdrawal to Fairfax and subsequently to the Washington defenses.
Although commercial and residential development now covers most of the Chantilly (Ox Hill) battlefield, a small county park preserves a five acre (19,000 m²) portion of the battle site.
Chantilly is located at 38°53′39″N 77°25′52″W / 38.89417°N 77.43111°W (38.894146, -77.431407).[6]
Informally, Chantilly is located around the intersection of US-50 (Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy) and VA-28 (Sully Rd).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.7 square miles (30.2 km²), all of it land.
Chantilly is served by US-50, the Fairfax County Parkway, and Virginia State Route 28 (Sully Road).

About 1.3% of families and 2.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.7% of those under age 18 and 5.5% of those age 65 or over.
The area is seen by many as a "boom town" with more development planned for the future alongside ongoing construction throughout. Chantilly is home to many professionals including physicians that contract with the nearby airports and the government.

The Bucking Gamma Bull
Wed, Jan 7, 2009 | Jared Woodard
We've mentioned before that our preference is to close out short option positions before the dynamics of expiration week have a chance to kick in. In a nutshell, while it's true that theta declines more quickly as expiration looms, tempting option shorts to hold on as long as possible, it is also true that gamma rises more quickly closer to expiration, as shown below.
There is no one right answer about how to trade expiration. But if we are short some strikes that have already given up a lot of their premium, we usually prefer to buy back those shorts before the negative gamma has a chance to build up enough to wrestle control away from us.
It's a simple question of risk management, really. Assuming you're long theta / short gamma in any size, you'll be hedging your deltas within some tolerable range. But the larger your gamma exposure, the more your deltas will change as the underlying moves around, and as gamma exposure grows toward the end of an expiration cycle, it can become increasingly difficult and impractical to hedge that directional risk. Think of your deltas as a mechanical bull, and your gammas as the rate and intensity at which the bull throws you around. The ride starts off quietly, but as time goes on the bull gets increasingly difficult to ride, and eventually you're likely to be thrown. That's exactly what happens during an expiration week in which the underlying makes an unexpected move: option shorts can't control their directional risk as easily as they'd like and have to hedge more deltas to stay on the ride, which only feeds the existing move in the underlying, which – because of all that negative gamma – forces options shorts to hedge even more deltas and so on into a downward spiral of flailing limbs, bruises, and spilled beer.

Various shots from Artwalk in Downtown LA
This is a roll of film shot at various locations around Southern California, from Artwalk in Downtown LA to wineries in Temecula to The Camp in Costa Mesa. I developed this film myself at home using the Tetanol C-41 kit. It's the first film I've ever developed myself. I didn't know how to do it, but found a lot of helpful videos on youtube. I don't think I did it right, some of the time and ratios were off, but I still like the results. The shots from Artwalk occurred the infamous night when OWS people were rioting with police. Later that night we were running for our own safety!

Many Thanks Gift Tower
One of the many request I usually receive around the holidays is to assist them in selecting a gift for their recipient. One of the common statements I typically get is that they are not sure if the recipient celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah or other related holidays around that day. I recommend the Many Thanks Gift Tower, it's perfect to gift to your client that you don't know much about, your new friend or even to that neighbor that waters your plants for you when you are out of town. This is a great gift to give when you don't know much about the recipient, as the food items included fit every taste bud. It also contains a strong "Thank you" message with a holiday theme that doesn't scream "Merry Christmas" all over it.

For those that are not interested in politics but want to have a stake in another dimension here's your opportunity.
My name is Michael Micelli and I go by the name Mootsa Gootsa on this site. I'm the self proclaimed worlds greatest unknown poker player. See the back of the coin Heavens Aces In The Hole.
Every vote cast using the Pay Pal button below is a T-Vote and cost $2. A T-Vote gets a member a location in the "World Peace Political Center" and a stake in tournament poker. Instead of an issue vote a players plot will have a T-Vote represented by a little T next to their cross marker. This T represents a stake in tournament play by Mootsa Gootsa. The number next to the little T represents that plots T-Value. To calculate the T-Value add up all the T-Votes in the "World Peace Political Center" and divide that number into the tournament fund found on the futures page. This will get you the value of one T.
Here's how it works. When a member gets a stake in the World Peace Political Center by casting a T-Vote, using the Pay Pal button below, all the funds are put into a tournament fund account less Pay Pal fees. These funds are used for tournament entry fees for Mootsa Gootsa. After a tournament 80% of the payout goes back into the fund.
A plot with a T-Value may still be taken over by another member. When this happens the exiting player will receive his plots T-Value. If the new player took over your plot by way of an issue vote then the exiting player will receive 80% of the new players cost to vote plus his T-Value. Once a plot has an issue vote it can not be taken over by a T-vote. T-Votes may only be used to takeover unoccupied plots, that's plots that have a white cross marker in the World Peace Trade Center or plots that already have T-Votes. To takeover a plot that has T votes the new member would have to double the T votes in order to take control of that location.
A new member that does a takeover with T-Votes will have his funds deposited into the tournament fund. The exiting member will receive his funds by way of Pay Pal less Pay Pal expenses.
When casting a T-Vote a player will still be required to find a location in the World Peace Trade Center and pick a fantasy angel.
Use the Pay Pal button below to cast a T-VOTE now.
Look over the issues and point of view of the three people that ran for President of the United States of America in 2012.
Voting gives you a stake in "World Peace" and harbors an issue to support.
Before Voting visit the
Fantasy Angel's Page
and find a fantasy angel's plot you want to takeover and the Virtual Politician's issue vote you want to bump out of his seat and plot in the
World Peace Political Center
Your vote on an issue will record a takeover of a Virtual Politician's seat when you include a Fantasy Angel's name or coin number and a plot number with the required number of votes.
If you do not include a Fantasy Angel's name when voting your vote will not get documented in the World Peace Political Center. You will still own of a fantasy vote until you use it to acquire another politicians fantasy angel.
When you purchase a fantasy angel with a fantasy vote you get the exiting politician's assets associated with the plot location of the Fantasy Angel you acquired, thus elevating that Fantasy Angel to a chosen one.
Go to the Fantasy Angel's Page and find the fantasy angel marking the location in the World Peace Political Center that you want to control.
There is one important fact to take into consideration, when you acquire another Virtual Poltician's seat in the World Peace Political Center you are replacing his issue votes with your issue votes and the required number of fantasy votes for a takeover doubles every time a fantasy angel's location changes hands.

Norfolk County Council workers are among those who will be affected by the chancellor's changes to pensions and wages.
Dan Grimmer
Thursday, March 21, 2013
The chancellor was accused of forcing millions of families into another year of "severely squeezed incomes" after he announced a further cap on public sector pay.
The budget contained a triple whammy for public sector workers, such as NHS staff, council workers, teachers and civil servants, affecting their wages and pensions.
The chancellor announced wage rises have been limited to an average of up to 1pc in 2015/16, pay progression is set to be reformed and employees will have to pay a greater amount of national insurance than at current levels into their pension pots.
He also announced plans to seek "significant" savings through reforming the system of annual rises through pay progression in the public sector, which he said was difficult to justify given millions of workers had seen their wages frozen or cut."
That infuriated unions, with TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady accusing the chancellor of being "oblivious" to the tough time public sector workers are enduring or "deliberately setting out to punish them."
Harry Humphrey, cabinet member for finance and performance at Norfolk County Council, said bosses were looking at the impacts of the changes on their staff.
Mr Humphrey said: "The chancellor has brought forward the timetable for a number of key policies, with both single tier pensions and the social care spending cap brought forward to 2016.
"These will have an impact on the county council and we will need to factor these into our forward planning."
County council salaries increase through increments, so the authority is looking at how the progression pay reform will affect workers.

You may have a point "V", unfortunately the 'ring-fenced' NHS has seen some 6000 nurse and health vistor jobs put to the sword by the ConDems' reforms. Meanwhile there's plenty of money to pour into quangos. Not the old quangos the tories didn't like and were quick to scrap, but their new ones like the LEPs. Must keep their favourite cronies in highly-paid work. The rest of us can chase all the exciting new part-time minimum wage 'jobs' in the private sector, created on the back of government handouts.
Thursday, March 21, 2013
If the civil servants dont like it, they can always get a job in the private sector (assuming anyone will employ them that is)
Thursday, March 21, 2013
It's good to know the chancellor acknowledges the hard work of public sector employees... I'm a nurse with over 20 years experience. The average UK salary is now £30,000, up to £39,000 for someone with my amount of experience yet as a nurse in the NHS I get just £25,000.
Friday, March 22, 2013
As long as cllr.s and MP's can give themselves pay rises, the latter are discussing some 20% extra, all seems to be well and dandy. Whether our public servants, some now in their fourth year of pay freeze, will scream in delight and double up their morale and efforts after the next round of cuts, is questionable.
Thursday, March 21, 2013
I mean the councils and council jobsworths, civil servants etc, not Fire, Ambulance, NHS, who do a marvellous job, but I do include teachers, so called child services, social workers, even the police who love to hound and persecute motorists, etc.

About the Research Study
"I believe this is a good thing for parents to have their kids involved in, they have fun doing all the fun activities and learning about how the environment affects them on a daily basis and being part of the research process. My two sons had a great time doing it and telling others how great it was!" -- testimonial from a parent
Research Scientists are trying to find out if the air you breathe affects your health. If you become part of the study, below are answers to the most common questions about your participation.
Do you have to be in the study?
No, you do not have to be in the study. No one will be mad at you if you choose not to participate. You can even agree then change your mind later. We only want you to participate if you want to.
What will you do when you participate?
Only if you want, the following things will happen
- You will let us collect a sample of your blood.
- You will let us collect a sample of your hair from an unnoticeable place.
- You will be asked to give us a tooth that falls out.
- You will collect a sample of your urine. (Your parent can help you if you want.)
- You or your parent will clip your toenails and give them to us.
- You will be asked questions about how you think and learn words.
- You will participate in some activities that test your memory.
- You will participate in some physical activities to test your ability to move around or your motor skills.
- You will be weighed and measured.
Will the study hurt?
The only part that may hurt a little is the stick from the needle when we collect your blood, but the needle stick hurt will go away after awhile. Nothing else will hurt you.
What if you have questions?
You can ask questions at any time. We like questions because we want to make sure you understand everything that's going on.

10 Worst Games We Played in 2011
Time for these games to take the walk of shame.
Mind-numbing would be the more apt name for this game, as it was never really clear how a game about mental hijacking would really take off. With sub-par gameplay, horrible targeting, incompetent AI and a slew of other faults, Mindjack didn't impress us at all, despite the somewhat dazzling cover art for the game.
When we heard Shah Rukh Khan was releasing a videogame, we were excited. When we heard that a demo was going to be playable at GAMES11, we were ecstatic. When we actually played the game, we lost all reason for living. Where do we even begin with this one? Crappy controls, bizarre graphics and mind-numbing button mashing were just some of the ridiculous problems we had with this game. We're just hoping that SRK sticks to his movies and stays very, very far away from games.
X-Men Destiny
Destiny clearly had other plans for the X-men crew in this game. An unfinished game with close to zero credit to the franchise, this was one game we were glad to be rid of. Fans of the X-Men might have loved going through all of the characters and their powers, but for everyone else there was little joy to be had from this repetitive title.
Supremacy MMA
A supreme disappointment to say the least, this game took fighting to a new levels of disappointment. Sure it was bloody and brutal, but thanks to its sluggish gameplay you could never enjoy it for more than a few minutes of button mashing. Given that there are much more polished MMAs on the market, we were more than happy to uppercut this catastrophe into oblivion.
The biggest attraction for Brink was supposed to be its million billion different ways of customizing your character. But the problem with Brink is that it was soon lost to the slew of COD-inspired games that bombarded us last year. With a slew of bugs that show up even after patching, there's little here to enjoy that you couldn't find elsewhere.
What were the worst games you played last year? Vent/rant in our comments section below.

I noticed in the newly release info for the next UT game (Envy) in the weapons department there was no Ripper. I loved the Ripper in UT99 and was very upset that they took it from UT2003 and didn't bring it back to UT2004. I guess they saw no need for it, but I still really enjoyed that weapon. Should it be brought back for the next UT game? I know I would like to see it return.

News Release
One of the most powerful things you can do this year is to make more visible to your supporters the impact of their gifts. If you don't, you are likely to lose your donors and volunteers - as well as the chance to build morale and excitement among your staff.
Here's a great example of an organization doing just that. The Minneapolis Jewish Federation has launched the Make a World of Difference Project, which shows what's happening in every corner of the world thanks to the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and its network of partners.
Every year, the Minneapolis Jewish Federation distributes approximately $15 - $18 million dollars to support programs and services that change the lives of people living in Minneapolis, Israel and 70 countries around the world. That means it can be difficult to convey the impact of its giving and that of the partner agencies it supports. These efforts range from a single mother in Minneapolis who staves off foreclosure thanks to an emergency financial assistance grant, to a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor living in Ukraine who receives food, medicine and warm clothes, to a boy in Haiti who can access a counselor to manage the post-traumatic stress he endures following the earthquake.
"At any given time the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and its network of partners are making such a strong global impact," said David Grossman, owner of Grossman Design, the creator of the innovative tool. "The Make a World of Difference Project gives donors a real-time look into how Federation is changing the lives of people and communities around the world, every day."
Built on top of the Google Earth platform, the Make a World of Difference Project uses pins to identify and present the suite of Federation-supported organizations, programs and services. Each pin takes users to a unique page that has aggregated newsfeeds and video galleries from the most widely-used social media sites - Facebook, Twitter and YouTube - capturing up-to-date news about what is happening on the ground through each organization, program and service. Users can like, share and comment on the feeds, helping to spread the impact of a networked, global community.
Take a look for yourself here.
Too fancy for you? Here are some other ways to show impact:
1. Provide clear and simple information on how money will be used. The more tangible, the better. For example: "Buy this backpack and our company donates $1 for school supplies for kids who can't afford them." There is a lot of research showing that specificity boosts giving and purchasing. Vague statements don't work as well - and they fuel skepticism among consumers.
2. Show, don't just tell. It's not enough to talk about the problem you're addressing - you need to make clear you have a compelling solution that is making positive change. That means you need to show your impact vividly. Tell stories, use images and draw on the power of video to bring to life the difference being made every day.
3. Choose your messengers wisely. The best way to prove you have a positive impact is to get someone else to say it. Endorsements, ratings, seals of approval and testimonials are great ways to build trust with consumers.

Created: 02/16/2014 7:10 PM WHEC.com
By: Lynette Adams
A house fire forced two families out of their homes Sunday night.
Investigators say it all started because of a young child playing with a lighter. Fire investigators say it's something that shouldn't have to happen.
The latest figures show nationwide, close to 45,000 fires were started by children playing with fire.
The fire Sunday happened on Ardmore Street in the city. A total of six people are homeless.
The Rochester Fire Department says there is so much heat, fire and smoke damage on the second floor, the families who lived there will not be able to go back in. News10NBC is told there is also significant water damage on the first floor.
Firefighters arrived to the scene around 2 p.m. to find flames shooting out of the back of the second floor of the house. They say a 5-year-old playing with a lighter started the fire in a bedroom. Fortunately, a sibling saw this and alerted their mother.
News10NBC is told three adults were with those children on the second floor of the home on Ardmore Street, and they were all home. This is just off Chili Avenue.
Fire fighters say when they arrived the smoke detectors were going off all over the building, and everyone was out of the house. They say it took no time to knock the fire down, but the fire moved swiftly.
Battalion Chief Chuck Stadler says this fire did a lot of damage, but was completely preventable.
"Here we have a very young child, a 5-year-old playing with a lighter. Here again we can teach them fire safety, but ultimately it has to be the adult who keeps lighters and matches out of reach of children. You just have to keep those fire starting tools away from children," said Battalion Chief Stadler.
The Red Cross is helping the two families with housing and other basic needs Sunday night.
The Rochester Fire Department recommends that all fire starters, like matches and lighters, be kept out of reach and out of sight of children, and never in an area where children play. The department also recommends that parents talk with their children about the dangers of fire and model good behavior themselves.

Frankfort eighth-grader Allie Fortier stands with the 81 bags she donated recently to the Frankfort Township Food Pantry. | Supplied Photo
Updated: March 11, 2013 6:01AM
What began as a requirement for confirmation class and National Junior Honor Society turned into a teachable moment that has inspired one Frankfort eighth-grader to do more.
Summit Hill Junior High School student Allie Fortier was looking for a project that would fulfill service hours for her church confirmation class, and meet the project requirements of her NJHS membership.
Allie's mother, Cheryl, is a dental hygienist at Treasured Smiles in Frankfort, and had a patient tell her about the Frankfort Township Food Pantry and how the shelves there need frequent restocking.
After Allie heard about the pantry's needs, she organized a food drive before the holidays.
"I live in Frankfort, and I thought it would be a really good thing to do to help people here," she said.
Allie and her family got 100 grocery bags and spent a recent Sunday handing them out around their Plank Trail Estates neighborhood. They ran out of bags before they ran out of houses.
"We probably could have done 200 or 250," Cheryl said. "I didn't realize what I was getting into."
Each bag contained a letter explaining who Allie was and what the bag was for. It also shared the pantry wish list and gave instructions for leaving the bag out for pickup the following Friday or contacting Cheryl for a different pickup time.
"I was a little bit nervous about talking to people, but if they were out in their yards, I just went up and told them what I was doing," Allie said. "People were very friendly about it. They really wanted to help."
When Friday arrived, Allie and her family piled into their minivan and began the pickup. Cheryl said she filled her van twice, transporting 81 bags of food to her garage until they could make the delivery to the township office that Monday. A few latecomers meant Cheryl brought a second delivery of four bags and a box full of food that Tuesday.
"I wasn't expecting as much as I got," Allie said. "I was really overwhelmed. The food pantry (staff) was very grateful because they didn't have a lot in stock."

Fortunately, the Gabor's is still up and running next door -- and chances are good you'll probably run into someone there who used to hang out at the Cricket. This Capitol Hill mainstay has pretty much everything a neighborhood dive could ever want, from cheap drinks to cool bartenders to a decent set of regulars. Plus it sports one of the city's best jukeboxes, which is free most of the time and is loaded with a kitchen sink of artists and styles, from Tom Waits and Lou Reed to the Ramones and the Clash to Miles and Monk.

cognitive science
cognitive science
nounDefinition of COGNITIVE SCIENCE
First Known Use of COGNITIVE SCIENCE
cognitive science
noun (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of COGNITIVE SCIENCE
cognitive science
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Interdisciplinary study that attempts to explain the cognitive processes of humans and some higher animals in terms of the manipulation of symbols using computational rules. The field draws particularly on the disciplines of artificial intelligence, psychology (see cognitive psychology), linguistics, neuroscience, and philosophy. Some chief areas of research in cognitive science have been vision, thinking and reasoning, memory, attention, learning, and language processing. Early theories of cognitive function attempted to explain the evident compositionality of human thought (thoughts are built up of smaller units put together in a certain way), as well as its productivity (the process of putting together a thought from smaller units can be repeated indefinitely to produce an infinite number of new thoughts), by assuming the existence of discrete mental representations that can be put together or taken apart according to rules that are sensitive to the representations' syntactic, or structural, properties. This language of thought hypothesis was later challenged by an approach, variously referred to as connectionism, parallel-distributed processing, or neural-network modeling, according to which cognitive processes (such as pattern recognition) consist of adjustments in the activation strengths of neuronlike processing units arranged in a network.

VIVA Florida Celebrates 500 Years Caption: Ponce de Leon's Florida. Map courtesy of pbchistoryonline.org
Florida is celebrating a milestone this year.500 years ago, on April 2,1513, Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon landed on the east coast of Florida– thinking at first he'd discovered another island in the Bahamian chain – named the land 'La Florida' (Land of Flowers) in honor of the Easter holiday. This was 107 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, making Florida the first state to be discovered by Europeans and the birthplace of what would become the United States of America.
In commemoration of this turning point in history, Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Department of State are leading a statewide initiative to highlight 500 years of historic people, places and events in present-day Florida since the arrival Ponce de León. Called 'Viva Florida 500' - and with an emphasis on 'commemoration rather than celebration' - the initiative features more than 200 events throughout the state, including many in Southwest Florida. Recently several local residents attended one of those events called The Conquistadors and the Calusa. Hosted by the Lee Trust for Historic Preservation, the symposium – held at the Koreshan State Historic Site Arts Hall – featured lead scholars speaking on the history of American Indians in Florida, beginning with de Leon's first encounters with the Calusas in Southwest Florida to the present-day.
BoCC Chairman and Fort Myers native Cecil Pendergrass opened the symposium, saying that the commission is committed to educating future generations and residents about Florida's rich and varied history.
Dr. Jerald Milanich, Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida gave the first presentation where he chronicled the Calusa's first encounters with the Spanish explorers.
Milanich began by saying that while there is no definitive proof as to precisely where de Leon first landed, a careful study of the information available shows that the expedition of three ships actually landed quite a bit south of St. Augustine.
"By studying a history of the account by Herrara in 1602 and a map drawn by another explorer on the expedition - we can ascertain that Ponce likely landed just north of Cape Canaveral, possibly at the shell mound called Turtle Island, which was the tallest feature on the coast in 1513, he said. "Most researchers concur that, after stopping at Riveria Beach on May 20th, Ponce's expedition rounded the state near Key West and turned north into the Gulf. This route dropped them on the coast of SW Florida on May 23rd - just off the coast of Sanibel. Needing firewood and water, the Spaniards sailed southward - perhaps towards Fort Myers Beach - where they spent about three weeks, during which there were minor skirmishes including one where the Indians attacked them in canoes. Despite this, both parties seemed interested in trading."
The professor added that there are some accounts that during this time de Leon sent a ship exploring the Florida coast as far north as Apalachicola Bay.
"Deciding it was time to return to San Juan, they set sail for home, stopping at an island they were told about-where the was a fierce fight. This may well have been Marco Island," he said.
Milanich explained that further proof that de Leon was in Estero Bay came in an account written in 1575 by a shipwrecked sailor who lived amongst the Calusas for 17 years.
"The latitudes he gives and the description of a large bay accessible by a shallow inlet pinpoints it exactly," he said. "That combined with the island of Stababa appearing on the map – the Calusa name for Mound Key, and the capital of the Calusas for many centuries - shows that Ponce's ships must have anchored near there in 1513."
Milanich said that de Leon returned to Mound Key in 1521, where he was struck by an arrow, an injury from which he would not recover.
"So is Florida going to be able to keep celebrating being the first landing for Europeans – maybe, maybe not," he concluded. "Seven or eight years ago, a well-known historian discovered that there may be evidence that the English explorer John Cabot arrived in North America in 1499 – so stay tuned!"
Dr. John Worth Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of West Florida then spoke on Spanish-Indian relations from 1513 to the early 1800's. He began by explaining that – following de Leon's failed attempt to set up a colony in 1521 – the Spanish unsuccessfully tried to establish forts five more times before Menendez arrived at Mound Key in 1565.
"From 1565 until 1570, he founded forts all around Florida – all of which were overrun and the settlers killed," he said. "The fort at Mound Key lasted two years before it was withdrawn after the murder of two successive Calusa chiefs."
Worth explained that from 1570 until the late 1750's, southern Florida was pretty much left to the Calusas.
"But, while they weren't affected by the slave trade or missionaries, they were affected by the pathogens brought by the Europeans – causing a 90% decline in their numbers over the years," he said. "Then things began to change. Starting in 1661, northern Florida was being pounded by English-sponsored slave trading – which used Creek and Yamassee Indians to raid other tribes' villages and trade slaves for guns. Eventually, the traders had to find more slaves, so they went to south Florida, where the Calusa fled to Key West and to the islands. The Spanish then brought a number of them to Cuba, but unfortunately most of them died immediately of disease. Those still left in south Florida between 1711 and 1760 were raided by the Creek and Yamassee until they were all gone. The last remnants made their way to Havana where there's a remote possibility that some descendents still exist."
Dr. Worth said that those Creeks now moved into the southern part of the state where they interacted with Cuban fishermen and were left alone again for a number of years.
"Neither the Spanish nor the English ever had any control over south Florida even when the English took over ownership of the state in 1763," he said. "These Creeks began to intermarry with the Cuban fishermen and have children. There was never any actual cultural interaction between these Spanish Indians and the Seminoles that were forced into the area later. Despite this fact, however, at the end of the Second Seminole War - in 1837 and 1838 - they were rounded up with the rest of the Seminoles and sent to Oklahoma."
Next came a presentation from Dr. Andrew Frank, where he talked about the discrepancy between what scholars say about the Seminoles history in Southwest Florida and what the tribe claims.
"We have a pretty good sense where the Seminoles came from in regards to history, but in regards to the Seminoles themselves, they say they've been here forever, even though we've always imagined them as an offshoot of the Creeks," he said.
Frank explained that this 'war of words' has been going on for many years, with the U.S. Government using the lack of aboriginality to justify war with the tribe and the Seminoles claiming the opposite for compensation for those wars.
"I'm going to try to mediate these two positions," he said. "I think Worth is right that the Spanish Indians had no interaction with the Seminoles but I'm not entirely convinced that the Calusas didn't. The conventional wisdom is that the Seminoles are an offshoot of the Creek tribe, but historians and anthropologists don't know who the Creeks actually are. They are many independent groups – not a coalesced unified people. That makes it very hard to define the Seminoles as a splinter group since there's nothing to splinter from. Even in the removal documents, the Creek were differentiated."
Frank says that, during the repopulation of the ancient tribes of South Florida, there is a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual connection, where intermarriage was common, and that there is a possibility that some few Calusa may have remained and been part of that connection.

This is Erik Sofge from Popular Mechanics at CES, and we are at the Philips Press Conference where they've announced-- they've announced a few interesting products. One of them is a virtual surround-sound speaker system that-- it's an interesting product that all the people could try before or while they haven't pulled off. It's basically one bar that includes all these speakers that would be normally satellite speakers and you position out the room and if you just had a sub-woofer, then, basically, you have surround sound. So we haven't heard it yet, but we'll let you know when we do. And then the biggest news that they offered is a wireless HDMI solution. So they're not offering pricing info or really the availability, but it's gonna be-- it's gonna have a range of 25 beats and should act exactly like any HDMI cable system, but it will be wireless. And well, probably the biggest news here actually is this MBX sound. I don't know if you even-- if you call it a sound system or an entertainment system for gamers. It's for PC gamers and basically, it amounts to a what they're calling a Wall Splasher, which splashes-- oh, sorry, Wall Washer. It splashes 16 million colors on the wall behind the screen. So, it's kind of like their amber light HDTV's but for games. So-- then, in addition to that, there are these fans which will--there's two of them. There are satellite fans which will blast air in your face when there's wind, when there's an explosion, or I don't know if someone is gently blowing your ear in the game. And lastly they have these two satellite speakers, which will have flashing lights on them, and the combined experience, they think, will be more immersive than anything we've seen so far in gaming. So that's it here from the Philips Press Conference at CES.
