The distribution of Daily Deal offers to consumers has grown up through opt-in email lists. While social sharing plays a supporting role, the mainstream model is pretty simple and self-contained, and drives a healthy spend on display advertising to feed email list growth.
Today, GroupOn's strategic advantage centers on the scale to which it creates an audience for an offer. They have amassed an email list hovering at 40 million consumers, whose attention is tuned exclusively to review and acting on "advertising". This is indeed a commerce gem.
However, I expect we'll look back on 2011 as the year that distribution of offers started to become more dynamic and dispersed. A major shift will happen as the industry expands and refines itself. The world of Daily Deals will increasingly connect into the existing search, discovery and promotion ecosystems.
Works in Progress
Real-time, organic search and ad network shifts are underway, and they all expand how consumers will discover and consume offers in the future.
1. REAL TIME: Expansion of Live + Mobile
Daily Deals are just beginning to morph from featured daily offers towards the bold new world of "Live Deals". Mobile will lead the charge in driving the industry in this direction. It will pressure deals to be published for instant action, expanding from today's primary use case of email > print > offline redemption.
We are already seeing Mapping and LBS applications adding Offers as shopping-related content and tools. Facebook's Deal approach is check-in centered and designed for live discovery via mobile interaction. Live local search and Daily Deals exist in parallel universes today, but they are on an unmistakable path of convergence.
Live marketing brings the promise of better matching between supply and demand for businesses with perishable inventory. The migration from sporadic lead generation campaigns to local business yield management is a heady transition, but the impact promises to be profound.
2. ORGANIC: Offers in Search and Shopping/Discovery Applications
The more deals get published, the more consumers come to expect offers, and the more the content will be drawn into the search ecosystem. As search embraces real-time content, and as Twitter and Facebook embrace search, offers will become increasingly integral to shopping behavior.
Today, most offers created by deal suppliers or businesses are tweeted and/or posted to Facebook. These posts are indexed by search engines continually – we've observed over 20 live index bots hitting Twitter whenever an offer is posted. While the content of the tweet/post is indexed, the offer details are not, nor are the offers connected to the originating business.
Two parallel standards initiatives provide mechanisms for placing offer content from businesses more squarely into the mainstream web and real-time worlds. Open microformats, actively supported by Google and Twitter's annotations both aim to capture better structured content. Additionally, an industry group sponsored by Tippr is working on an open deal format model to promote better exchange of offer content, focused primarily within the Daily Deal ecosystem. Closely is active in all of these initiatives.
3. AD NETWORKS & DEAL FEEDS: Deal Content in Traditional and New Channels
The local advertising industry is coming to view Daily Deals as a powerful new performance ad product. With a continual downward pressure on traditional display and search ad products, the shiny object of Daily Deals is becoming a source of active development.
You're seeing Ad Network operators experiment with Deal-based ad content with new price models. While existing ad channels embrace Deal-based Ads, a new generation of deal aggregation channels is also rapidly in formation.
Products such as DealExchange and OfferEx present first generation examples. You also see a growing array of deal feeds finding their way into distribution on local search sites, providing exposure to consumers while they are initiating local business queries. Last time we counted there were over a dozen "deal aggregators" independently collecting up deal content and creating portals and distribution-centered business models.
Silos Shift to Ubiquity
These trends have motion, so it is obvious that Deals are on a path to significantly expand how they are discovered by consumers.
The implications for small businesses are favorable. New choices for getting offers to more and different consumers will bring more opportunity to the business' doorstep. Of course, choice also increases complexity, and small businesses will need more assistance to simplify and take advantage of the opportunity underlying these shifts.
These shifts also add an opportunity for traditional media companies to participate in new ways in the industry without simply copying the GroupOn model. At the end of the day, GroupOn's incredible value is anchored in the ability to bring an offer to an audience. We're on the cusp of an exciting set of new ways for this same value to be expanded and reinvented.
We've been building ahead of this curve for some time, and it's exciting to see the industry rapidly opening up and redefining how business promotions connect with consumers.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dory!
Facts about Dory
- Species: Chinchilla
- Color: Silver Or Gray
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Dory's Info...
I am good with kids and good with small animals.
Born on 9/16/10, Dory is one of our chins we had hopes to show. Unfortunately, she has a curly pig tail which is not a desirable trait. She's adorable though and will grow to be a HUGE fluffy lump of a girl like her mother.
Dory is currently housed with her mommy and big sister and has been socialized with other female chins with no problems. Dory is very passive towards other chinchillas, but has an attitude toward people. She would make an excellent choice of a friend for your alpha female.
Other Pets at Whimsy's Menagerie & Chinchilla Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dory, a Virginia Beach Chinchilla was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chinchilla for sale in Virginia Beach, or seeking a Chinchilla from a breeder in Virginia Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Virginia Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Virginia Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chinchilla breeders who help with Chinchilla rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Virginia Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ensuring the safety of toys — and the rights of the workers who make them — is a complex task that requires the commitment of toy companies, governments and consumers. On safety, CHOICE thinks we need a national product safety system and a general safety provision in law that clearly imposes pre-market responsibility on producers and importers. The huge recalls last year showed that big blunders with disastrous consequences can slip through, and highlighted the shortcomings of our current product safety system. Companies must ensure their toys meet all relevant safety standards, which may require an upgrade of quality-testing procedures or a rethink of a design. And if problems do arise, they must act promptly (with a voluntary recall, for example). On responsible supply chain management, companies must be proactive and accountable. They need to understand and map all parties involved in the production of their toys and of the conditions in the country of manufacture and on the factory floor. A comprehensive code of conduct, compliance with national laws and international standards, an independent auditing system, a well informed workforce and transparency in their dealings with the public will all go a long way towards achieving these aims. As consumers, we need to be aware of the risks that toys can present to our children (see You can buy a safe toy, below). For many consumers it's also important to act to promote sustainable production in countries we import from, including effective environmental laws, fair wages and better working conditions. We can contribute to organisations such as Amnesty International, Brotherhood of St Laurence or Oxfam, which campaign to improve human rights and working conditions. Buying Fairtrade products is an approach that works for products like coffee and chocolate --- see our report for more on this. For toys (and clothing and electrical goods) complex supply chains can make this harder, but we can still have an impact through our purchasing decisions and by letting the major-brand companies know directly what we think. Lastly, we can pressure our own government for action both on standards for toy safety and overseas labour conditions.
Neither current codes nor certification of compliance is good enough for you to be certain you're buying an ethical toy, but these tips will increase your chances.
All toys for children under three must meet the mandatory standard AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2002. They mustn't contain any small parts that are a choking hazard, or produce any when subjected to various tests designed to simulate normal use and abuse (such as dropping, pressing or pulling). When buying a toy, consider:

Why Don't Media Majors Know Who Quentin Tarantino Is?
Culture Warrior By Joshua Coonrod on December 11, 2012 | Comments (9)Editor's Note: Landon is participating in a top secret experiment this week, so he's invited colleague Joshua Coonrod to fill in for him. Your usual Culture Warrior and I teach at the same university (Indiana U – home of Breaking Away and the Hoosiers) in the same communications program. Amongst the most interesting things about teaching media studies at a major university is the sense you get of what young film students are interested in, what (few) films drive them into theaters, and how they understand the constantly shifting mediascape around them. While you obviously don't have to be an academic to watch film, love it, study it and critique it (re: the title of this site), it is intriguing to consider how upcoming film students – who make a decision to invest copious amounts of time, energy, and money into the study of film – approach the medium. With all the end-of-year discussions of 2012's best films, what have those students been heralding? From my experience – barely anything. I feel like there's a lot of assumptions as to the answer to that question, though. Film students? They like foreign films, right? Really arty, cerebral shit? Don't they want to prove themselves by knowing the most obscure, hard-to-find films? My semester began with a student introducing himself in (just about) the following way: "My favorite filmmaker is this director Quentin Tarantino. He made this film Inglourious Basterds. Everyone should really check it out." People nodded. The student looked proud of himself. I stared blankly, wondering […]

The new issue of Heeb has got me downright confused. The hip Jewish magazine's feature story, "That Oven Feelin'," features pictures of Roseanne dressed as Hitler, baking and eating burnt "Jew cookies." The crazy doesn't stop at the photos. In a pretty shocking interview with the 55-year-old Jewish actress, Roseanne seems to have dropped off the sane-train since her television days. Now residing in Utah, Roseanne blogs and writes essays about menopause and medicine and tells Heeb she's the reincarnated soul of Hitler. Also that macadamia nuts are the staple of perfection?

RE: Not to be outdone by the Kiwis...... (Follow-Up #19)
posted by: lisaclv on 12.11.2007 at 02:46 pm in Bromeliad Forum You want red, Sander? I'll give you red.
Vr. Hawaiian Punch: Vr. Jan Nakamoto: Okay, the second one is more dark pink, but I want to keep crossing all the reds with each other and see if I can get some Vrieseas that look like Neos! They do lose their color if you fertilize too heavily or if they're not getting enough light. The form is not as much of an issue as it would be for a Neo though, and generally speaking my Vrieseas get more fert than the Neos do. How many forms of Vr. platynema are there, Kerry? The only one that anyone I know here is growing is platynema v. variegata. I always just assume that if it's a hybrid with colorful foliage that's the one that was used. I know that's what Shiigi is using. I can't see the point of using a green one at all. Actually, it's hard to even see the point of even crossing v. variegata with anything, how do you improve on this? The one in the photo was grown fom self-pollinated seed and came out pretty true so I know it's not a hybrid. The Baensch book shows a platynema v. flava with yellow flowers and a platynema v. rosea with rounded leaf tips ending in a dark fingernail. That second one looks very much like what I've seen as Vr. bituminosa. Also they have pictures of what I know as saundersii x bituminosa, but they have it labeled saundersii x platynema, so I'm wondering if bituminosa is no longer a valid species. FCBS still lists it with no comment about its relation to platynema. As to that cross I mentioned earlier, racinae was the seed parent and (saundersii x bituminosa) was the pollen parent (yes, it was a variegate). I kept the 2 best clones, not super showy but kind of interesting, and may have potential for further breeding of spotty guys. The first one got the dark red undersides from the bituminosa or platynema or whatever it is. Some spotting, most evident in the center leaves, and racinae's recurved form: The second one got spots, lots of 'em, from both racinae and saundersii: I think it might be interesting to cross the first one with the big fenestralis, but I really don't want to treat any of those to force them into bloom. I'm enjoying them much more as foliage plants right now, but maybe when one of them gets too tall to be attractive I'll shoot some Florel its way. Max, I can't remember when I started those seeds, but I'm sure it's been at least 10 years, maybe more. BTW, the flowers on the foliage types generally open at night, so you either need to bring them into the house or go out with a flashlight (torch) and fiddle around. If there's something else in the mix, like Poelmannii, schwackeana, etc., then you'll get day-blooming flowers, which makes it a lot easier. Speaking of racinae, one other thing I found interesting is that its distinctive leaf curl is much more pronounced in bright light. I could never figure out why they looked so nice in the greenhouse but when I'd load them up and take them to a sale they'd lose their curl overnight! On a sunny day (but not FULL sun): and after being in the shade a few hours: Did I answer everyone's questions? Oh-- pollen storage. Everyone has different methods, I'm sure we've talked about this before, but mine is to pluck off the stamens and put them in a little film can or pill bottle with a tag, then set all of the little bottles inside a bigger pot and cover the whole thing just loosely with a paper towel and stick it in the fridge. I can get a couple of months out of it that way. I was told that it's important to let it breathe, but others here have had just as good luck sealing up the container, so you can't argue with success! NOTES: <none>

RE: Breeding & seed size (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: kerry_t_australia on 09.23.2008 at 10:09 pm in Bromeliad Forum Hey Ali,
When receptive, the stigma has a clear type of mucous blob on the end of it - looks rather like a dew drop on the end. From my understanding, this actually stimulates the pollen to travel down the (inside)length of the style to the ovary - allowing pollination to occur. For bromeliads, this receptive stage differs between various genera (...and for human females!). As Lisa has advised, the stigmas of neoregelias are most receptive between 9 - 11am. Most broms are pollinated in the day time. However, many of the foliage vrieseas and alcantareas are, in nature, pollinated by night creatures eg. bats, moths, but also ants. From my own experience, I have noticed some foliage vrieseas first get that sticky muck on their stigmas at various times of the early evening, through to about 2am. Well actually, many still have the 'blob' in the more people-friendly morning - I know of some hybridisers who still apply the pollen to the 'blob' in the early morning, with success. When each flower first opens, the anthers have unripe pollen - it's hard and can't be removed. For a confident cross-pollination, it is best to remove the anthers before the pollen is ripe - to ensure self-pollination does not occur. (although not all broms self-pollinate). You know when the pollen is ripe when it can be easily removed and has the consistency of flour. The pollen is usually ripe before the stigma is receptive i.e. has the 'blob' on its end. You can cover the end of the stigma with fresh or stored viable pollen before it gets the 'blob', and this usually works too - as some pollen will still be on it at the receptive stage. I think you have more chance of successful pollination if you apply the pollen to the 'blob' either before or during the receptive stage - not after. I have collected pollen of day-flowering vrieseas (usually the green-leaved ones) and tillandsias, and then applied it at night to those foliage vrieseas which don't open 'til the evening. I have also noticed that some foliage vriesea hybrids which have one green-leaved vriesea parent, are receptive in the late afternoon - in between the two parents. Vriesea racinae opens its flowers earlier than I expected - more like around 5pm. Once, when I was eagerly awaiting the next flower, or pair of flowers, to open - I was running late for some social event, and was hanging out for it to open so I could remove the anthers and whack the stored pollen of another foliage vriesea on its stigma pre-blob (it only has about 6 to 8 precious flowers). So - I placed the small potted vriesea in a dark space at around 4pm, and sure enough the next 2 flowers opened earlier due to the less light...ha! Hope this info helps Ali - and any others interested in the nitty-gritty. I learned much of this on this forum :) And Hi to Shaine, now in Caboolture - good luck with your hybridising. Cheers, NOTES: <none>

RE: Not to be outdone by the Kiwis...... (Follow-Up #10)
posted by: lisaclv on 12.10.2007 at 06:35 pm in Bromeliad Forum Kerry, be sure to remove the stamens from racinae as soon as the flower opens too. That thing loves to self-pollinate! I was able to make one cross with it and (saundersii x bituminosa), but off the top of my head I can't remember which was the seed parent. I'll have to go check and take a photo for you.
Meanwhile, take a look at the Tropiflora page in the link. They show small seedlings of fenestralis that look very much like mine did at a tender age. Then below that is a full-grown racinae, so the similarities are very apparent. I had to laugh that they're marketing fenestralis as a terrarium plant, though. Maybe for a little while, but then it'll have to come out of there unless you have a walk-in terrarium! I'd be very interested to see what you get out of that cross. I think it would probably be very nice, regardless of whether it's the same as mine or not. I see where B&T World Seeds has a listing for Vr. fenestralis x racinae, but they don't seem to have any seeds currently in stock. Koning's comments about a hybrid with fosteriana or platynema coming out bigger than both parents is interesting, although not totally surprising. That happens quite a bit in crossings, and those plants are all within a similar size range. With racinae, though, I can't imagine how you could get something as large or larger than fenestralis. Your little Zapita is about the size I might expect from such a cross. I'm not sure what he means by "dominant for green colors", as I've seen crosses with platynema that were quite pink. One plant that I like using as a seed parent is Elfi/Natasha, which has fenestralis in it, along with Poelmannii. It got the nice red floral bracts of Poelmannii and the glossy recurved leaves of fenestralis, and has just a hint of tesselation in it that can be brought out by crossing with another foliage type. The last 3 siblings you see on my first post above come from a cross with that and fosteriana, and I got a full range of colors from purples, pinks, reds, white and green. I selected 9 of them and just gave them the names of the numbers one through nine in Hawaiian. All of them have a single reddish flower spike except for 'Eono (6), which is yellow with little dark spots, as you can see emerging. 'Ehiku (7) has the best flower, a nice glossy red, but unfortunately none of them branch like Elfi. One of my goals is to get a showy bloom and beautiful foliage markings on the same plant. I'll let you know when I get there, but generally speaking I'm more interested in the foliage. Here is a link that might be useful: Vr. fenestralis and racinae NOTES: <none>

Motive Industries
When We Last Saw Them: Motive's concept, the Switch, was based on an ambitious idea: A hybrid whose battery can be replaced by the consumer. Last year it was struggling with a lack of powertrain experience and looking to partner their production skill with someone who could solve that problem.
The Changes: Other than deciding to go with a custom powertrain based around a Weismann transmission and their proprietary flux path motor, the changes to Motive Industries' car are mostly superficial. The new entry looks like an Audi TT. They changed the look to better compete in the luxury car arena, since that's where Motive predicts its market will be. "The X-prize is a fun distraction," says Nathan Armstrong, president of Motive Industries. "But if you want to bring an electric car to market, you need a different business model," he says. "What we're doing has lead us down the path of the premium market."
The Bottom Line: "The investment money coming in is limited," said Armstrong. and "the momentum of the X Prize has slowed down." Motive would not have entered the race had Tesla backed out, Armstrong says. "It's hard to convince an investment groups that the X-prize is a valuable way to spend money."

Shots and chances favored the Canadians in the first period but they failed to cash any in. USA took the first penalty of the game when Ryan Suter was called for holding the stick at the 12:53 mark, but the Americans managed to kill off the penalty. Team USA got their turn with the man advantage late in the period, but they were unsuccessful as well. It was a quiet first but the scoring started right away in the second. Jamie Benn tipped home a Jay Bouwmeester shot 1:41 into the frame to make it 1-0 for Canada. USA had a couple of opportunities to even the score but they failed to convert on two powerplays in the frame. The USA had some opportunities but still couldn't get one by Canadian netminder Carey Price in the third period.

Last year you posted a photo of Rudbeckia triloba 'Prairie Glow'. I fell in love with it, remembered it and ordered it this spring. I got 3 of 'em. The first one has started to bloom - really early for a triloba in my experience. Since these usually have a habit of blooming a very long time, I expect this is only going to get better as the summer progresses. To say I am not disappointed is an understatement. I love this one! It's about 3 feet tall, well branched and should not require any support - again from my experience with triloba. The other 2 plants are already over 4 feet tall and just starting to produce buds. Actually one is open and it appears to be a dark mahogany. Evidently, the colors are really variable as is the size. For comparison, here's the regular Rudbeckia triloba. This photo was taken a couple of years ago. So thank you Rouge for introducing me to a spectacular plant. Any updates on yours? Did they survive the winter or behave like normal biennials? Seedlings I hope? Kevin |

Lovely, Aachenelf, Rouge. |
Outstanding Kevin! I am very sorry to say that none of the 3 "Prairie Glow" that did so well in their first year survived to this year :(. And at first glance It appears that there was no reseeding either as I have seen no evidence of any trilobas in the immediate area. I hope you have better success with yours for next season. |

Oh wow. Very nice. Another plant to add to my wish list. You enablers! I think my summer garden is going to become quite hot color focused. Already planning on helenium Mardi gras too. |
This is why I appreciate this forum so much. When someone takes the time to tell everyone in detail about his/her experience with a particular plant,, I take note especially if it is something I'm not familiar with or for whatever reason haven't considered before. Prairie Glow was one of these plants. And by the way, that delphinium you see on the right is because of an extended conversation on this forum last summer. I can't give you a reason why I've never tried delphs before, but that conversation convinced me I was missing out on something. For sure, more of these next summer. I'm in love. Kevin |
Nice! Count me among those who were impressed last year, you have a one up though in that I didnt remember enough to act on it over the winter, so I'm still triloba-deficient. I tried to remember to get a few seed heads of the regular kind from a friends garden but of course forgot! Nice job and great memory. Rouge, perhaps yours will still show up. |
I usually have triloba self-seeding by the thousands each spring, but I think I'm going to make a point in collecting and saving seed from these just in case they aren't as prolific. Maybe if I get my act together, I can offer some seed to those of you who like this one as much as I do. Kevin |
Update request: Kevin, I am hoping you will take note of any successful self and or your intentional seeding of PGlow. After a great experience with this plant 2 seasons ago I had *no* repeat of this triloba last year (2013). I am hoping you will be more fortunate. (I am also curious if these new plants will be true PGlow or a reversion of some sort to a traditional triloba). |
rouge Interestingly one of my plants survived the winter which is very unusual for triloba. Usually they bloom and die 99.99% of the time. I had three last year and only one bloomed the brilliant orange and gold. The other 2 were more of a rust and gold. I don't know which one this is since I didn't mark them. I also did not take seed from the orange one, so I don't know what is going to come up. I'll save some of the seedlings when they appear and hope for the best next year when they bloom. Kevin |
UPDATE After getting no PG babies last year...too aggressive weeding maybe, it seems I will have some not as nice mutation of this cultivar this season. (I wont get much of any of these plants as the deer seem to lop off the top every couple of weeks). What about you Kevin and others....any sign of this years PG? |
The one plant that survived the winter (pictured above your post) is blooming right now. The color is nice IMO, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it next year if it survives the winter again. At over 5 feet tall, it really does take up a lot of room in my small garden. I do like it though, so I'll I have to use the winter to think about it. Another not-so-great thing about this plant is it really seems to attract some kind of chewing insect. Up close, almost all the flowers have been chewed by something. I don't remember my regular gold triloba having that problem. And yes, I do have quite a few seedlings which of course won't bloom this year. Not sure what I'm going to do with them. Kevin |

"Signs of autism can be detected in six-month-old babies by measuring brain activity," the Daily Mail has reported. While the Mail was correct, the research has not yet proved to be a perfect diagnostic test.
This and other related headlines are based on a study that assessed the brain activity of 104 infants aged 6-10 months as they watched an image of an adult's face whose eyes moved from looking away from them, to directly at the infant, then away again. Researchers called these eye movements 'dynamic eye-gaze shifts'. They then assessed whether differences in brain activity in response to the eye-gaze shifts were related to autism developing in the same children at three years.
Children who did not develop autism showed large spikes in brain activity when they saw the 'gaze shifts'. Much smaller spikes in brain activity were detected in the infants who went on to develop autism, raising the prospect that autism could be identified earlier than is currently clinically possible.
However, this test was not 100% accurate. Some babies showing low brain activity spikes did not go on to develop autism and vice versa. As the groups overlap, there cannot be a simple and useful cut-off value to predict autism.
Developing and refining this type of test into something that can be routinely used to detect autism in infants is likely to take some time and will certainly require more research on larger groups of infants with autism and unselected healthy infants too.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by a collaboration of researchers from English, Canadian and Australian universities and was funded by the UK Medical Research Council. It was published in the peer-reviewed science journal Current Biology.
The media reporting of this story was generally well balanced. Many stories included quotes from the study authors that a definitive test would take time to develop and that the current assessment is not 100% effective.
What kind of research was this?
This study was a prospective longitudinal study investigating whether the brain function of infants aged 6-10 months differed in response to viewing faces that changed the direction of their gaze. The researchers then looked at whether these brain function differences could predict a diagnosis of autism at three years of age.
The authors report that there are currently no reliable methods of predicting autism in infants younger than about two years of age. Current diagnosis relies on the detection of behavioural symptoms of autism that typically develop in a child's second or third year. Behaviours associated with autism include impairments in social skills and communication, and the presence of rigid, stereotyped and repetitive behaviours.
The authors say previous research shows typical infants' sensitivity to eye gaze in the first year of life predicts a range of social and communication skills that emerge later. Detecting autism at an early age could potentially lead to ways of better supporting the child during early development, improving their wellbeing and life chances.
What did the research involve?
The researcher recruited a group of 104 infants - 54 at risk of autism because of a family history of the condition and 50 controls, with no family history of autism. The infants were followed from 6-10 months through to three years of age.
The researchers measured the 6 to 10-month-old infants' response to changing images of faces. They did this by recording event-related potentials (ERPs), which are a measure of brain electrical activity in response to a thought or perception. In this study, ERPs were used to measure the perception of a face changing between looking directly at the infant and then away from them. The researchers called this 'dynamic gaze-shift stimuli'.
The researchers also tracked the eyes of the infants to examine the amount of time they spent looking at the eye region of the faces they were shown. This allowed the researchers to assess whether different responses to the eye gaze were due to differences in attention to the eye region or whether brain functions were more important.
The researchers reported that dynamic gaze-shift stimuli are more likely to engage wider social brain mechanisms than static images as they mimic a real social interaction more closely. However, researchers compared their dynamic gaze results with that from 'static gaze', (images of a face whose eyes were looking at, or away from, the infant) to see how they compared to each other.
The brain activity levels of infants at risk of autism were contrasted with the controls. The researchers then looked at how the brain function differences at 6-10 months related to a later diagnosis of autism. An independent team assessed whether the infants had autism at two and three years old.
What were the basic results?
The brain activity of the control group showed large spikes of activity in response to eye gaze changes when the face image held a gaze toward, compared to away from, the infant. The brain activity spikes of infants at risk of autism were significantly smaller in response to the same stimulus.
The differences in brain activity of the control group verse at risk group were not restricted to the dynamic gaze results. Similar results were seen when static images were used.
The researchers found that those who did not go on to develop autism at three years of age showed large spikes in brain activity relating to the changes in eye gaze at 6-10 months. Crucially, those that did develop autism showed significantly smaller spikes in brain activity. The static image test did not predict a later diagnosis of autism.
Eye tracking information was available for 93 of the 104 infants. There was no difference in the time at-risk infants and control infants spent looking at the faces' eyes relative to other areas of the face.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The authors conclude that 'brain function measures can successfully differentiate groups of infants at risk [of autism] from low-risk control within the first year of life'. They go on to say that 'response to dynamic gaze shifts during the first year of life distinguished the group of infants who later develop autism'.
This small study highlights a potential method of identifying children who are likely to develop autism at 6-11 months, much earlier than the current method of diagnosis. The authors suggest this could potentially pave the way for more selective targeting of early intervention efforts and procedures to these children, increasing their life chances.
While this study provides intriguing results it is important to bear in mind some practical limitations. For instance, while the average differences between the brain function of the infants that went on to develop autism compared to those that did not were significantly different, individual values from the two groups did overlap. This means that there is probably no useful clinical cut-off value to predict autism. Similarly, the researchers do not describe how the controls were selected or report how good the test was at diagnosing autism, known as the 'test sensitivity'. Reporting these key results would have helped us better assess the accuracy and importance of these findings.
Much larger studies would be needed to establish a suitable brain activity level to use to identify as child as 'likely to develop autism'. These studies could better assess the natural variation in brain activity from a large group of infants. Similarly, it is unlikely a future autism assessment would rely on a single test, such as dynamic eye gaze, but would instead use a combination of tests.
The uncertainty about what cut-off values to use, and the drawbacks of using a single predictive test, makes the development of an early identification test more complex. It may be some time before a predictive test is routinely available to identify infants likely to develop autism earlier than is currently possible.

Golf and Fashion
Posted on 16. Jul, 2013 by Allan in Discussion
(Sponsored Post)
A little departure from the usual instruction on the mental game of golf. I've been approached to do sponsored posts before, but only by companies which wouldn't fit with what I'm building here. I have no such reservations about this company and I'm delighted to welcome them as a sponsor for this post.
Golf and fashion have not always been easy bedfellows.
Most non-golfers would laugh if you argued you could be a fashionable golfer.
They'd consider the two concepts to be completely at odds.
And, sometimes, it's all too easy to see what they mean.
A casual glance at the crowds watching the Scottish Open, basking in the Invernesian sunshine, would have revealed a number of people decked head-to-toe in the type of apparel made famous by players like Jon Daly. A few others were wearing the boldly-coloured plaid favoured by the Poulters of this world.
But to focus on them would be to do the crowd an injustice.
For every fan decked out in garish hues, there were at least 3 in golf attire which was as stylish as it was tasteful. Well fitting polo shirts and crisp trousers abounded and it was only the labels which gave some away. Others were in the unmistakeable colours of current golf fashions, but no less tasteful for that.
So it's certainly possible to dress like a golfer and remain stylish, but there are obviously pitfalls which have to be avoided.
And online golf clothing store Function18 have got the clothes to help you do just that.
Function18 are a specialist online golf apparel website offering everything from tailored shorts in a bold-yet-tasteful check, right through to clothes you can wear away from the course without causing any raised eyebrows.
Why not check out their Galvin Green clothing collection for stylish golf wear, designed specifically for its purpose?
But the one, lasting, question from the weekend spent at Castle Stuart:
Why do so many spectators wear their golf shoes to tramp around the course?

Actually pkgcore folk have pushed for stuff. mtime preservation is a simple example of things I've pushed for- at the time implemented by portage/pkgcore, eliminates the orphan potential for .pyc and other generated files (iow, very useful). My personal opinion on what goes into PMS is that it's typically only stuff that paludis supports already (or is a direction paludis wants to go towards). Could be wrong, but that's my opinion of it via watching/involvement in it from it's public inception. In terms of involvement in PMS, frankly it's not worth it from where I'm sitting due to ciarans behaviour. Simplest explanation possible there is that w/ ciaran being effectively the loudest voice PMS wise, combined w/ behaviour involving sitting on bugs in competing managers (including instances where that manager isn't compliant w/ PMS) and popping them out at random times on the ML to rip on the manager, it's not worth dealing with it. It's not a matter of having thicker skin- it's literally a question of worth. Is it worth trying to have a voice if it means exposing yourself to BS behaviour? Via that line of thought y'all should be able to understand my personal choice involvement wise. It's basically a happier existance to just implement the spec, and keep the head down ;) My two cents on it, for what it's worth. ~brian

In this winter that has already brought some crazy cold weather to parts of the United States, there is now a Winter Storm Warning complete with predictions of possible snow and ice for….Houston. Yup, that coastal city we live in near the Gulf of Mexico in Texas that often sees temperatures hit 110 degrees in the summer. Now, forecasters and computers in these parts have a history of getting "overly excited" about the possibility of winter precipitation, but it does seem to look likely that at least something will come out of this Winter Storm Warning for some parts of Houston and surrounding areas (especially to the north of Houston) beginning late tonight and into early Friday.
Because of this United has issued a weather waiver for January 23rd and 24th for the following airports:
- Houston, TX (IAH)
- Austin, TX (AUS)
- San Antonio, TX (SAT)
What this weather waiver means:
- Fees for same-day flight changes are waived within 24 hours of original departure.
- For all other changes, the change fee will be waived, but a difference in fare may apply.
This storm may not be enough to cause any major disruption, but it doesn't take much for things to get a big bogged down around here as folks have virtually no experience driving in icy/snowy conditions, and we don't have near the infrastructure to deal with winter storms as parts of the country that get them on a regular basis. Basically we all just sit inside for a day or so until it all passes.
What does this have to do with travel? Well, potentially a fair amount if you planned on transiting a Houston airport late tonight or especially early Friday morning. For those not up-to-date on their Houston geography, Hobby Airport is further to the south and is really pretty close to the coast where the temperatures generally stay a bit warmer. IAH is located in the northern part of the city where temperatures tend to get a few degrees colder. If we actually do get some wintery mix that extends far enough south to impact one of the airports, then expect at least some delays.
We do have de-icing equipment here, but I'm sure we don't have the volume of equipment that you would see at an airport that deals with this on a regular basis. Even if the conditions at the airports are pretty good, the crews have to be able to drive from their houses to the airport in order to make the planes fly. That process may take longer than normal in the morning if the road conditions in the surrounding areas aren't great.
If you have the ability to route your flights in a way that avoids IAH late tonight, or especially early tomorrow, that would be the safest course of action. Otherwise, just hope the forecasters were overly ambitions when they got the school kids' hopes up that there might be some wintery stuff by the time the sun rises on Friday morning.
To give you an idea of how rare this sort of thing is in Houston, many of the pre-schools in the area (including ours) have an annual "Snow Day" where they pay some ca$h to buy snow for the kids to play in. I'm sure those kids are crossing their fingers for a real snow/ice day tomorrow.
6 Responses to "Weather Waiver Issued: Ice and Snow Coming to…Houston?"
Houston. Yup, that coastal city we live in near the Gulf of Mexico in Texas that often sees temperatures hit 110 degrees in the summer.
I don't think so
Ha ha, well pretty close to it. Certainly heat indexes get that high. Point being, we are way better with heat here than we are with wintery stuff. That said, no one likes August in Houston!
I'd love to be able to watch y'all deal with even a little bit of snow…..as an Ohioan who has seen the snowiest January in history so far this month. I'm ready to kiss winter goodbye. Driving advise for snowy or icy roads…..slow down…you need at least four times the braking distance. Do not even think about using cruise control…it can cause you to lose control of your car in snowy, icy or rainy weather. All wheel or four wheel drive vehicles will handle better but still slow down and have plenty of braking distance. Best advise is hibernate like a bear until the roads are clear this is especially true in areas that don't normally have snow.
Wendy, totally agree the best course of action around here is just hibernate until it all passes!
For anyone else, my friend's AM flight on United out of IAH tomorrow has already cancelled, so be proactive!
I'm rejoicing at the news!
The weather waiver on all IAH flights Jan 23/24 has allowed me to move back for FREE a super cheap mileage run economy flight booked for Friday eve to LAX. Now I'm flying Dreamliner on Saturday PM. Even better – my Premier 1K complimentary upgrade to United First just appeared on my email.This already adds to my already booked/ already upgraded return to IAH on the same 787 Saturday evening – using up my last free Global Upgrade certificate before it expires at month end.
So for a mere $217 rtn, I'm with open bar, good meals (relative term!) and 7-8 hours round trip aboard a sleek new Dreamliner 787.
It's a great tribute trip for me to say adieu to 1K status, as I'm being downgraded to Plat for 2014.
Life can be so cruel at times – but not for me this weekend. Cheers!
I am here too – working from home with the kids since all of the schools are closed. Little C sure is getting big – I have a 5 year old and it is amazing how quickly they go from being toddler to tall little girls. Have you seen Frozen with her? We got the Anna dress with boots that mine loves to wear around the house. Saving the Elsa dress for trip to WDW over Spring Break. Soon you too will be a slave to the school schedule :).

Also, they're gonna have the x-pac's story take place on a different planet (not Outland lol) and the zones are gonna look like something from Starcraft, because blizz loves to recycle content from every game they own because they think it's good for the environment.

On the other hand, Schaefer acknowledges that some would-be investors will balk at RollerSport packaged in the form of a penny stock deal. Three and a half years ago, Schaefer and Kronowitt met one another when they each sold companies they owned to a firm named Madison Sports & Entertainment. They were paid with Madison stock, which at first went up -- then down, really fast.
"I am not going to say that Madison was a scam," Schaefer says today. "What I am going to say is that there are questions as to whether the company ever really intended to do what it said it planned to do. It was all allegedly -- and I'll stress that word -- designed to drive the stock up so that insiders could profit. The whole experience was very unfortunate. Bob and I got taken for a lot of money, and now we're sitting on a lot of worthless paper." At the time Madison executives contended their hardships were the normal business setbacks of a start-up company.
Guy Beaven, a penny stock broker turned author, puts the experience in context. In his 1995 book titled Hello Suckers, he describes the Fort Lauderdale-Boca Raton corridor:
It is a little section of the world where every bar is packed with brokers of every description and vice, their Mercedes-Benzes waiting for them outside in the parking lot. In fact, the entire Sunshine State is a haven for confidence rackets of every description. The reason is simple enough. The population is growing faster there than anywhere else. It is also where many older folks go to retire with their pension funds and retirement accounts and life's savings. Those who migrate here are already existing on a fantasy. Add lots of money and a swindler and suddenly you've created a fertile ground for fraud.
Schaefer contends: "By putting out premature or misleading information, you can drive the stock up. At RollerSport we have never done that. We put a press release out saying Desmond Kameka, ranked in the top ten in the International In-line Skating Association, is now skating with RollerSport Challenge. It's true. We put a release out saying we have a signed deal with TCI Cable. It's true. In the mid-1980s there were like 400 penny stock deals coming out every day, and a lot of people are still the guests of the government because of them. Maybe because Bob and I got burned in the past, we've been overly cautious."
Meanwhile, in a suburb of Orlando, there's activity that both challenges and pays tacit tribute to Schaefer's dream. The World Skating League, a new company with rumored backing from CBS and TNN, has finished building its own Derby track and is now recruiting skaters. Leading the recruiting drive is Faith Urban, Schaefer's former point woman. She notes that World Skating League athletes get a paycheck, unlike those at RollerSport.
"These people are players," Urban says of her new bosses. "They have the smarts, the expertise, and certainly the money. We may fall flat on our faces, but it won't be because we didn't give our best effort."
Urban says the company plans to shoot its first six TV shows by January, then launch the network series on TNN. A memo appeared in Schaefer's warehouse recently, expressing concern that World Skating was trying to cherry-pick RollerSport's best skaters.
"I in no way see a competitive problem, and that's not PR nonsense," says Mark Hickman, vice president of production for Ross Television Productions of Knoxville, Tennessee. "Roller Derby has gone so far out of the public mind that I think anything any one of us does will only benefit the other." Hickman says it was Derby queen Joan Weston's obituary in the New York Times that inspired his current efforts -- her death reminded his backers of how popular the Derby had once been. Hickman declines to say exactly who those backers are.
From his home in California's wine country, the last person to guide Roller Derby to a comeback is mulling an offer to do some consulting work for Hickman.
"I think, under the right conditions and very properly financed, it's possible," Jerry Seltzer says of a Derby comeback. "When I did it 25 years ago, it was much easier, believe me. We would play live games, videotape them, and send them to stations. Simple. Now the costs and technology are so different. There's cable TV, which complicates matters. Arenas you could rent for $1000 back then probably wouldn't open their bathrooms for that kind of money."
Orlando's World Skating League plans to emphasize skating athleticism and virtuosity over wrestling on wheels, sources say. A good idea?
"I'm going to answer that a little cryptically," says Seltzer, now age 66. "My father always wanted to see the Derby in the Olympics. He always believed it could survive without the histrionics. But every time it's been run with a strong sense of how to bring people into the box office. I'll say I would like to see it come back as legitimate a game as possible. Anyway, it's kinda like crabgrass. It just keeps coming back, one way or another.

Our favorite WoW dinosaurs outside the Isle of Giants
I'm worried, WoW Insider readers. I love patch 5.2 and all of the dinosaurs improvements that have come with it, but in the patch's frenzy of dinosaur-fueled excitement I fear we're forgetting something... namely, the long and noble history of WoW's dinosaurs. Indeed, dinosaurs have roamed the game since patch 5.2 was nothing but a far-off dream in a developer's heart. Dinosaurs have been with WoW since launch day, and just so you don't forget the heroic dinosaurs who have brought us to this age of dino-popularity, today we're going to review the 10 best (or at least most memorable) dinosaurs in the game.
So pay attention, because there may be a test later.

The One Thing Subway Is Still Hiding From All Of Us!
Witnessing the power of the Food Babe Army this week has been absolutely incredible.
On Tuesday, February 4th, I launched a petition for the removal of a dangerous plastic chemical called azodicarbonamide from Subway sandwich bread – the same stuff used in yoga mats, shoe rubber and synthetic leather. This was after repeated attempts to reach out to Subway since June of 2012 to learn more about why they are using this (asthma inducing and potentially carcinogenic) chemical here in North America and not in any other countries. They never responded until now.
Within 24 hours, the petition received over 50,000 signatures, and Subway's social media channels were completely overrun by concerned citizens and the Food Babe Army. I want to thank the countless number of friends, family members, fellow bloggers, organizations, and everyday citizens who took swift action to tell Subway we deserve the same safer ingredients they use overseas.
To date, the petition has received over 78,000 signatures and counting.

We lost a 100 year old hydrangea tree in a storm and I have managed to root a cutting from the tree. It has been on kitchen windowsill but I've noticed that the leaves seem to be curling and turning brown. My question is what do I do with it now? Will it survive indoors all winter or can I plant it outdoors? It's a precious bit of history and I want to make sure it survives! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your cutting is rooted it should survive indoors until spring. Your window sill may not be your best location. Watch for new growth and don't expect anything from what ever old leaves you may have. Winter window sills are often way to cold. Al |

I love the changes they made to Disneyland's Space Mountain. It is SO AWESOME being in complete darkness, the side-by-side seating, and the smoothness of the ride. I LOVE it.
I hope they duplicate the changes to Space Mountain in WDW. My gut tells me they'll do it before the 40th anniversary in 2011. I'm not going back to Disney until June 2010 - I really hope it's not closed down then, but things aren't looking good. They should plan the refurb better so it doesn't need to be closed for so long.

48" Dormont 1650KITCF2S Deluxe Safety Quik Gas Appliance Connector Kit with SwivelMax - 1/2" Diameter
- Features convenient SwivelMAX fittings
- Restraining cable and hardware included
- For indoor use only
Customer questions about this product
- Can this hose be hooked up directly to a LP tank?
- No. This hose is designed to be hooked up to gas plumbing only, not portable tanks.
Make sure your gas appliances are hooked up safely with the Dormont 1650KITCF2S SafetyQuik gas connector kit! This kit comes with a 48" long, 1/2" diameter Dormont blue hose with the first and only quick disconnect valve combination on the market to make your place of work and your appliances safe. The kit also includes a safety system gas connector, 2 elbows, and 2 SwivelMax fittings.
The Safety Quik valve employs a number of safety measurements while acting as a convenient quick disconnect fitting. When opened to allow gas flow, the hose cannot be disconnected until the valve is turned off. Similarly, the valve cannot be turned on until a hose is connected to the fitting. To attach and disconnect the hose, simply push the end of the hose into the fitting until it snaps into place.
This 1650C2S gas connector kit comes with 2 SwivelMAX connectors to help keep stress off one end of the hose. SwivelMAX fittings allow movement at either end of the hose, and a full 360 degree multi-plane range ensure flexibility and a longer life for the hose and plug. This fitting replaces rigid street elbows to make movement easier on your appliances and the hose.
The Dormont blue gas hose included with this kit is made of woven corrugated 304 stainless steel tubing covered in an antimicrobial PVC coating that slows the growth of bacteria, mildew, and mold on the gas connector. The hose also has an internal thermal shutoff feature to protect against dangerous temperatures near the gas supply.
In the event of temperatures higher than 350 degrees Fahrenheit, a small polymer ring in the male end of the coupling melts, and a heavy-duty spring loaded in the coupling shuts of gas supply immediately. The hose also has an internal thermal shutoff feature to protect against dangerous temperatures near the gas supply. In the event of temperatures higher than 350 degrees Fahrenheit, a small polymer ring in the male end of the coupling melts, and a heavy-duty spring loaded in the coupling shuts off gas supply immediately.
Please consult the Specification Sheet for further information.
