Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)If you want to find life on Mars, here's how to do it
By Marshall Connolly, Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 22nd, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Scientists have published a new theory that explains where life could have once existed on Mars, and how it might be found. The theory is based on what we know about the natural development of life on Earth and even locates a prime spot to conduct the search. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Published Monday in the journal, Nature Geoscience, the theory suggests scientists might find evidence for life on Mars by examining a particular impact crater.According to Professor John Parnell and Dr. Joseph Michalski, a planetary Geologists at the Natural History Museum in England, a particular crater might be just to place to search for life on Mars. Parnell told the Telegraph, "We could be so close to discovering if there is, or was, life on Mars. We know from studies that a substantial proportion of all life on Earth is also in the subsurface and by studying the McLaughlin Crater we can see similar conditions beneath the surface of Mars thanks to observations on the rocks brought up by the meteorite strike." Parnell explained why looking at the crater is so critical to finding life. "There can be no life on the surface of Mars because it is bathed in radiation and it's completely frozen. However, life in the sub surface would be protected from that. And there is no reason why there isn't bacteria or other microbes that were or still are living in the small cracks well below the surface of Mars. One of the other things we have discussed in our paper is that this bacteria could be living off hydrogen, which is exactly the same as what microbes beneath the surface of the Earth are doing too. Unfortunately, we won't find any evidence of animals as the most complex life you might get in the sub surface would be fungi. But fungi aren't even that far removed from plants and animals, so I think you could say that life on Mars could be complex, but small." There are a number of problems in the search for life on Mars, chiefly, getting below the surface far enough to find layers of strata where life may have, or still does exist. Robot vehicles can only be built so large and are limited in what equipment they can carry. They cannot possibly drill more than a few feet below the surface. However, where man fails, nature succeeds. Meteors, some quite large, have struck Mars throughout the planet's history. When a large meteor impacts the surface, it forms a crater, sometimes excavating hundreds of meters deep, exposing the strata beneath. A craft that is capable of testing these layers can effectively study Martian history since each layer would be specific to a particular era of geologic activity. Mars has an added advantage of being a tectonically stable planet with little erosion. That means layers of sediment would be preserved for billions of years whereas on Earth such preservation is remarkably rare. So, if at any time in history, life has ever existed on Mars, the odds are very good that examining a feature such as the McLaughlin Crater, they can rule almost conclusively about the question Martian of life. In the meantime, research continues with what tools scientists have. Currently, there are five active scientific missions on Mars. That number may increase within the next two years as India sends its first mission to the Red Planet in November and the European Space Agency has another mission slated for 2016. Several other agencies, including NASA will send further missions in the years ahead as the pace of research accelerates. However, a mission to the McLaughlin Crater is not in the works - yet.

Whether you love to hate it or hate to love it, the fact remains, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo lives. A second season has been ordered and will be delivered on July 17th. Mark your calendars or plan your vacation from television. The choice is yours.
TLC is banking on your continued interest in pop culture sensation, Honey Boo Boo. According to Deadline, this news follows another reason to celebrate. Season 2 got a start date from the TLC network only "one day after tiny pageant sensation Alana Thompson's parents actually tied the knot." If you're still uninitiated, Alana Thompson is Miss Boo Boo's real name. She and her now married parents first caught the nation's eye on TLC's other reality series Toddlers & Tiaras.
You can tune in this summer at 9 PM. "This summer, get ready to watch the family take part in hijinks like butter rolling, tap dancing lessons and wrestling events," said TLC in a statement. "Mama Bear" and "Sugar Bear" were said to wed attended by guests wearing "full redneck attire". Sorry, but no cameras were allowed at the event. Wise decision there, eh? However, the wedding will be part of the new season, so I guess the camera ban wasn't for embarrassment's sake but purely to avoid spoilers. That's understandable.
The freshman season spanned 10 episodes and averaging 2.4 million viewers. You like her, you really like her, or else you enjoy horrifying yourself. Either way, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is a genuine hit. Its more than I can say about my own life. There are no cameras following me around that I've noticed.
Boo Boo is filmed in McIntyre, Georgia and comes from Authentic Entertainment. Early this year TLC gave fans Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas specials. Hey, that's two more specials than Downton Abbey has offered. Which brings me to my next question. Which series has the cuter house pet, Downton or Boo Boo?

Latin name: Pachyptila crassirostris
Population: The Fulmar Prion has a large global population estimated to be 200,000 individuals.
Cites classified: Least Concern (IUCN, 2008)
Where found: The Fulmar Prion has a limited range and breeds on Heard, Auckland, Snares, Chatham and Bounty Islands.
Wingspan: 60 cm
Length: 24-28 cm
Weight: 102-185 g
Mating/Breeding: The Fulmar Prion breeds in rock crevices and cracks in coastal cliffs and boulder slopes, sometimes alongside albatrosses. The Fulmar Prion lays one egg in October/November and hatching occurs mid to late December.
Eggs: White.
Hibernation: The Fulmar Prion is largely sedentary.
Hunting Habits: The Fulmar Prion take their food by surface-seizing or shallow-diving, principally close to shore.
Feed on: Largely takes small crustaceans.
Threats: The Fulmar Prion are affected by the presence of cats, rats and pigs on some of the islands on which they breed.
Colour/Looks: The Fulmar Prion's upperparts are pale blue-grey, with a distinct black M on the upperwings and an extensive black terminal tail-band (the broadest among the prions). The Fulmar Prion's bill is stouter and slightly more robust than fairy prions. Predominately white underparts with poorly developed pale grey breast-sides, but quite characteristic washed slightly greyish, becoming extensively bluish at the rear, just behind the vent.
Interesting Trivia:
- Unlike other prions, who shun the daylight hours, Fulmar Prion's regularly perform courtship displays during the day while perched in the open.
- Predatory skuas are uncommon in many of their breeding areas, but prions will mob a skua if it dares come near the nest area.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Ziv Television Programs, Inc. was an American television syndication and production company, producer of popular syndicated TV programs in the 1950s.
The company was founded by Frederick Ziv in 1948 and was a subsidiary of his successful radio syndication business, which had begun in 1937. The company produced pre-recorded programs and sold them directly to local television stations. The television syndication service proved lucrative during the late 1940s and early 1950s, as local television stations wanted to fill their schedules during hours outside of "prime time". By 1955, Ziv was producing more than 250 half-hour TV episodes a year.[1]
As the Big Three television networks began offering programs outside of prime time, Ziv's popularity began to decline. The market for first-run syndicated programming began to dwindle, and the company began to produce programs which aired over the networks in 1956. In 1960 the company was purchased by United Artists and merged with UA's own television company to become Ziv-United Artists. In 1962, the name reverted to United Artists Television after UA phased out the name Ziv Productions.[1]
Today, most of the rights to Ziv's TV shows are distributed by MGM Television. Some have fallen into the public domain.
ZIV International was an unrelated producer and distributor of Americanised anime in the 1970s and 1980s.

Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's offers a 1:1 challenge - Every dollar you pledge today, Jerry will personally match up to $2500! Read Jerry's challenge to you in Update 6!
Limited number: Vermicompost-tea brewing kits (for your plants, not for you)
Check out our updates on compost heat tech systems! Click on the update tab above.
Compost in the Food System
We need local food and we need local inputs – like compost and renewable heat, to produce that food. Composting provides a wonderful mechanism for capturing locally generated nutrients, organic matter in food scraps (what you scrape from your cutting board and plate) and manures – recycling them back into soil for growing the next generations of crops. Compost helps build soil that is durable, resistant to erosion and disease, and grows crops that are healthy for you while mitigating the use of synthetic and mined fertilizers, toxic pesticides, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Innovating Compost Heat Recovery
Developing compost heat recovery at Highfields' Compost Research and Education Facility is an effort to take a process that is fundamental to sustainable food and farm systems, composting, and develop new technology to yield a second value from the process – renewable energy in the form of recovered heat. With your support this system will advance this emerging technology and improve its effectiveness and efficiency, all the while bringing down the entry-level costs associated with it. In keeping with our organizational culture of appropriate technology for the people, we'll make our understanding and designs of these systems available to everyone – 'copy-lefting' open-source designs.
Check out our open-source designs for a compost windrow turner here.
You will be investing in renewable energy innovation that you, farmers in your communities, and people across the globe can utilize and benefit from. This is technology and innovation by the people and for the people.
The process of composting generates tremendous amount of heat, which results from the biological activity occurring during composting, primarily bacterial metabolism of organic Carbon. A big fat handful of active compost contains a bacterial population much greater than the human population on earth. Those little buggers are living large in an environment we create just for them and they are so abundant that they produce body heat that collectively generates temperatures of 140º-160º F over a period of several months. We can harness that heat. Compost heat can be captured and transferred for heating water, greenhouses, barns, and other heat applications. But the technology is still very much in the early stages of development and we want to bring it much further along in order to popularize it and bring it to farms and other applications everywhere... maybe even your house.
Bill McKibben Endorses Us!
Friend and ally Bill McKibben – described by Time Magazine as the "World's Best Journalist", author of Eaarth and so many other important books, and founder of 350.org – is pretty excited about the prospects of compost heat. Check out what Bill has to say about compost heat recovery and why he's supporting the Highfields' Kickstarter campaign.
Compost Research and Education
This effort is part of our larger effort to build a dynamic state-of-the-art compost research and education facility that will advance non-toxic, regenerative farming practices. Ultimately, we will need to raise over $550,000 – of which we have already raised half. If we can raise more than our goal of $40,000 for the heat recovery system, the additional funds will go to our broader facility development, which includes multiple approaches and scales of composting including turned windrows, aerated static piles, large scale vermicomposting (worm composting), small scale composting systems, livestock mortality composting, and most importantly, compost heat recovery. Interested? Learn more on the campaign or check out our Spring update.
Building Regenerative Systems from the Grassroots
Let's talk straight for a minute. Ever wonder why it would seem that Cargill and Monsanto own and control the destiny of our global food system? Aside from their massive concentrations of wealth and strategically integrated organizational design – they are driving the ship through research and development. They know how to vertically integrate the food system. They invest in the development of new systems, technologies and methods.
Have a different vision of the future for you and your community? Want to create communities and food systems that are decentralized, self-sustaining, and ecologically and socially regenerating?
So do we.
If we are going to do it, we all need to invest in that future with the same level of self-interest and conviction that Cargill and Monsanto do in their future market share and profit centers. So, if the idea of creating stackable functions, like integrating nutrient and disease management on farms with renewable heat generation through composting sounds good, then help us invest in the R&D of the future: our communities.
The Fruit – Outcomes and Rewards
The final outcome of this effort will power our operations and help us offset the fossil energy we use to heat our worm parlor, site office, and shop each winter. As importantly it will be a functioning and actively used R&D system to advance compost heat recovery and turn out greater DIY designs and systems for you. This endeavor will allow us the ability to figure out how this system works the best possible way. Since we are developing a research system, unlike other Kickstarter projects that are producing products, our incentives don't promise you a heat recovery system delivered to your door. We're offering related, and practical, gifts that you will enjoy and benefit from today, while committing to providing on-going outcomes and benefits, like open-source designs and data from our research, going into the future. The real outcomes will ultimately be the benefits this technology will bring to sustaining local food production. When our heat recovery system is built and honed – our designs will be online for you to download and implement. The blueprints will be there so that you can build one into your growing operation; your home; your community center. Circle up and chip in however you can, get your friends involved, and together we can design the community and farm infrastructure of the future. Thank you for your support to this project – like all of Highfields' work, we promise to stretch your investment as far as possible and keep delivering real outcomes that will be available to you and your community members as they develop.
Thank you so much for your support!

Welcome to Training Bureau's Page | ||
The Training Bureau consists of seven different programs which are designed to provide academy recruits and in-service personnel with the most up-to-date, innovative, creative and realistic learning experiences available to present day law enforcement. The featured programs are:
UnitsRecruit Training UnitThe Recruit Training Unit oversees all recruit training activities for candidates seeking employment as Deputy Sheriffs or Police Officers within the County of Los Angeles and surrounding communities. The Sheriffs Academy offers an 18-week training curriculum at STARS Center in Whittier and at the College of the Canyons in Saugus. A third training academy site has been identified at the Antelope Valley College in Lancaster which is tentatively scheduled to open in July 2006. The primary purpose of opening the North county training academies was to increase recruitment efforts and to accommodate new recruits to receive invaluable training opportunities at locations closer to their homes and families. Advanced Officer Training UnitThe Advanced Officer Training Unit coordinates and teaches over 50 advanced in-service courses which includes Patrol School, Sergeants Supervisory School, Field Operations Lieutenant/Sergeant Schools, POST I.C.I. Homicide and Child Abuse Schools, Gang School, and many other advanced courses. Weapons of Mass Destruction UnitThe Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Detail currently provides Sheriffs Department and participating police agencies two 16-hour training classes per week. The course offers information on weapons of mass destruction and terrorism awareness. In addition, the instruction provides practical application scenarios involving the operational aspects of handling and managing a weapon of mass destruction and/or large scale hazardous material event. Candid and interactive discussions pertaining to law enforcements response, responsibilities, and roles, provides an eye opening, thought provoking learning experience for all who attend. Field Operations Training UnitThe Field Operations Training Unit is responsible for operating the 24-hour Continual Professional Training (CPT) course as well as providing Department recruits and in-service personnel with defensive tactics and force instruction. The personnel assigned to this unit also provides expert feedback to Department executives concerning significant force incidents. Education-Based Discipline UnitEducation-Based
Discipline (EBD) is an innovative alternative to traditional disciplinary
suspensions. EBD reduces management-employee conflict and embitterment
that results from withholding employees pay. Instead, offering optional
behavior-focused education and training department-wide, enhances communication,
character, competence and trust. Weapons TrainingThe Weapons Training staff provides law enforcement students with firearms tactics and officer survival training utilizing a wide array of training tools and techniques. The training includes building searches, pullover and approach, and many other tactical methods to address current risk management issues. Classes include on-duty and off-duty pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns and less lethal weapons systems. Training sites are offered at Biscailuz Center and at the Pitchess Detention Center. Seven mobile ranges, strategically located throughout the County, provide quick access for weapons qualification relays and new training scenarios for field personnel. Funds have been approved to upgrade the Biscailuz pistol range. The future range will be an All Purpose Range that is at least 50 yards long to accommodate handgun/shotgun combat courses. It will also feature an area for future rifle training. Tactics and Survival Training Unit (Laser Village)The Laser Village staff provides training on shooting tactics and officer survival. Using a combination of computer simulators and simunitions, students are taught how to safely search buildings, use cover and concealment, and many other officer survival tactics. Students role play at Laser Village and can be involved in simulated confrontations with the staff who pose as suspects. These confrontations use real weapons that shoot Simunitions, which is a high-tech paint ball. This training is some of the most realistic training, deputies and police officers will ever face and prepares them for many tactical situations they may face while doing their jobs. Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC)The EVOC staff provides Department personnel and Sheriffs Academy recruits with emergency driving training utilizing a variety of teaching methods and challenging driving courses. Recruits and in-service personnel are taught pursuit and emergency driving skills at a high speed track at the Fairplex in Pomona. Professional Development UnitThe mission of the Professional Development Unit is to provide the highest quality training, professional development, educational opportunity and to uphold the highest ethical and Core Values of the Department. The objective of the Professional Development Unit is to provide training that will assist in the development of each member of the Department to meet his or her maximum potential. The Unit will promote educational, leadership, and technical opportunities to assist all personnel throughout their career. The Professional Development Unit will ensure subjects taught by the Department will be thoroughly researched and continually revised to keep pace with changes in law and advancing technology. The Unit will also ensure instruction provided by the Department will reflect its Core Values and utilize the best teaching methodology available. Click Here to view the Professional Development Unit, which consists of the Civilian Training Unit, Department Training Records, Deputy Leadership Institute, LASD University, Leadership and Professional Development Coordinator Program, Operations Unit, Regional Community Policing Institute, Respect Based Leadership, Video Production Unit and Sheriff's Leadership Academy. The philosophy of the Professional Development Unit is to provide a system of training that will meet the Department's needs for all personnel. The training process shall be humanitarian, ethical, and innovative in the pursuit of providing the Department with the highest quality of personnel. The Professional Development Unit consists of the following: |

This week at 148Apps.com we closed out the month of January, and thus our month of focusing on health-related apps, with a special article on iOS and special needs by Lisa Caplan. She writes, "In keeping with January's health & fitness theme I'm taking a stab at some self-disclosure. I have a spinal cord injury with a host of related 14-karat diagnoses. I don't use apps for the disabled, though, like those to help remind me to take my meds, find handicapped parking, get medical information or find online support communities. I don't think anything on my iPad – including pictures – would hint that I have "special needs." Nonetheless, iOS devices and apps have improved my health, both physical and mental."

Amy Solomon at GiggleApps.com reviewed Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth this week, and she had some very positive things to say about it: "Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth is an app that I greatly enjoyed, both on its own merits and also because apps for older children are not as common as I would like in iTunes. I highly recommend this app to any student who is reading Shakespeare as well as to adults who would like to know more about this time period in general."

Finally, 148Apps.biz site editor Rob LeFebvre reported on recent trends in app costs. He writes, "Fiksu, Inc. released their latest report today on the mobile app economy, and found all time highs for marketing costs as well as iOS downloads in December. They attribute this data to advertising bidding wars to lock in top rankings before the App Store froze during the 3 day holiday."

What happened to the old thread on the adwords flaw, it just went missing? It's not even in Google's cache anymore...?
I was following it with great interest.
The original poster has not been seen by friends or family for the past 3 days.
The flaw is of a technical nature relating to the way the adwords is written and their servers are setup. Can't say more than that, until it's fixed. Overture's system is obviously completely different, so it's not related.
As far as I can tell the first thread is still alive and kicking so I don't really see what the problem is? Am I missing something?
There'se been a lot of editing but hey, there'd been a lot of TOS violations...

An unstable economy is keeping more LSU students in the classroom. Jon Fairbanks explains why graduate enrollment at the university is on the rise.
Graduate school enrollment has jumped 6% this spring. One reason students say is a sluggish economy and they hope there will be more jobs in a few years. Other students think they have to go to graduate school to be able to compete in the job market since many young people are looking for jobs. From freshman students tot hose who are close to graduating, the uncertain future is a big concern.
Sophomore Katie Athey says, "Just to make sure that I will have a job, I want to make sure go to grad school, do good, get the degree I need, then I can be established in my career." But, freshman David Jones disagrees, "It doesn't seem to make sense in some instance because why are you prolonging and trying to get more education for a job that even if you're qualified you may not get."
Even before the recession, graduate enrollment at LSU was on the rise with roughly 20% of the students.

David M. Benett/Getty
Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Jena Malone, and Sam Claflin from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire sat down to interview each other using questions that fans had sent in. The hilarity that ensued is guaranteed to make you love the cast even more (if that's possible) and will get you more pumped for the sequel, as if you weren't already counting down the minutes (10,440, as of 6 PM tonight). Here's the clip, and the 7 best moments.
1. When asked what the toast at Peeta and Katniss' wedding would be, Hutcherson sputters, "To a long and prosperous life full of... bread and happiness and... (throwing his hands up, looking at Lawrence, and laughing) we're not having a toast! We'll let you do the toast at the wedding. I'm not doin' the toast at the wedding, absolutely not."
2. When asked what her favorite scene to shoot was, Malone says, "Getting interviewed by Caesar... and just seeing Stanley (Tucci) up close... I kind of got to spit all over him."
3. The cast is asked, "If you could take only one thing from your bathroom into the arena, what would it be?" Hutcherson replied: "A plunger, next question." Laughingly, Lawrence said, "Poop. If someone pulled out poop I'd be like, OKAY!" (Hands raised)
4. Hutcherson asks Claflin, "Was our onscreen kiss the best you've ever had?" Claflin replies, "I definitely had butterflies (and winks at Hutcherson)." New romance alert! But they're probably just referring to when Finnick gives Peeta CPR. Claflin then says, "I've got a tendency to kiss dead people." After an awkward silence he clarifies, "In movies! Like in Snow White!"
5. After Hutcherson asks Lawrence a silent, telepathic question, Lawrence replies, "My favorite part of shooting in Hawaii was running into the water and peeing with you!" (Hutcherson and Lawrence high-five).
6. When Claflin is asked whether Finnick's trident or his charm is more powerful, Claflin replies, "Um, my trident. I can't kill people with my charm." Hutcherson quickly chimes in with, "Can't you? You are English." (And yes, his accent is oh so charming... definitely a powerful tool).
7. Malone asks the boys to choose the right underwear for their wetsuits. Hutcherson says, "I wore a thong! Like Cisco!"

Vaccines are generally recognized as the most cost-effective approach to infectious disease healthcare. However, the development of conventional vaccine approaches (using live-attenuated or killed pathogens, or protein subunits) has been constrained in many cases by technical limitations as well as requirements for a significant manufacturing infrastructure. In addition, the safety risks associated with these vaccines may offset their potential benefit. We believe our DNA-based vaccine products are simpler to manufacture than conventional vaccines made using cell or egg-based culture procedures. In addition, our DNA delivery technologies can accelerate certain aspects of vaccine product development such as nonclinical evaluation and manufacturing, offering quicker routes to the clinic.
Traditionally, vaccines have been predominantly focused on the pediatric market, intended to protect children from diseases that could cause them serious harm. Today, there is a growing interest in vaccines against diseases that may affect adolescents and adults, which include both sexually transmitted diseases and opportunistic infections that may strike during pregnancy or in immunocompromised or geriatric populations. We believe our technologies, because of their potential safety and development timeline advantages, may be ideally suited for the development of this new generation of vaccines.

Well, technically speaking, Unwired reviewed the smartphone formerly known as the Excalibur, full-name being the O2 Xda cosmo Windows Mobile Smartphone (maybe they're Prince fans, maybe they'll have a symbol for it next week). We talked a little bit about the Excalibur last week, and while there's no pretty hands to speak of this time, there's still some solid info.
All the features … are pretty standard, for top class smart phones, but the highlight of the device, which makes it so different to all previous HTC Windows Mobile Smartphones, is the integrated thumb-keyboard and the HTC JOGGR control pad, which replaces the rocker/wheels, previously used for Smartphones.

AMD Promotes New Products
AMD Promotes New Products, Strong Execution and Focused Innovation at 2008 Financial Analyst Day
- Executives detail company's strategy to achieve sustainable profitability -
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- November 13, 2008 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today hosted its 2008 Financial Analyst Day at its headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. Senior executives, including President and Chief Executive Officer Dirk Meyer, reported on the company's progress toward sustainable profitability by sharing information on AMD's product, marketing, manufacturing and operational initiatives.
As a part of today's event, AMD also launched its 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors. Previously codenamed "Shanghai", these processors deliver up to 35% more performance than the previous generation Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor and up to a 35% decrease in power consumption at idle, along with sweeping virtualization performance leadership.
In his presentation, Meyer reiterated his commitment to guiding a leaner, more focused AMD back to sustainable profitability.
"Today's 45 nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron launch is another key 2008 milestone for AMD, strengthening our portfolio of computing products and complementing our industry-leading graphics products," said Meyer. "In 2009, we plan to remain focused on executing our new product roadmaps, extend our leadership in graphics technology, refresh all our existing computing platform offerings, and introduce innovative new platforms targeting key growth opportunities like ultra portable notebooks.
"Our Asset Smart strategy remains a critical piece of AMD's future success. Through 'The Foundry Company'. we are putting a model in place that will help ensure AMD's access to leading-edge manufacturing without having to shoulder the increasingly prohibitive costs of semiconductor manufacturing."
Randy Allen, senior vice president, Computing Solutions Group, Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Product Group, and Nigel Dessau, chief marketing officer, also provided high level program overviews. Executives emphasized how AMD's plan is to focus on delivering the solutions that power the next generation of user experiences and applications at work, home and play.

What sighs of relief must have been expelled along with the seniors as spare rooms were aired, ancient toy poodles were euthanized, radios and TVs were tuned to bearable programming at endurable volumes, and the last vestiges of clan and tribal obligation were dumped in the trash, along with the renewal notice for the large-print edition of Reader's Digest.
Throwing the old folks out of the house seems to have made us so happy that pretty soon, in pursuit of further happiness, we began throwing each other out of the house as well. Divorce rates doubled between the early 1960s and the middle 1990s. And one of the demographers who contributed an essay to Historical Statistics wrote that about half of all the marriages contracted at the end of the 20th century would end in divorce, and that about a third of the babies being born had unwed mothers. Putting all that together with a continuing decline in the fertility rate among native-born women, we can conclude that the final years of the last century were marked by a trend toward smaller and smaller—and, therefore, happier and happier—households. However, the suicide rate held steady, and even dropped a bit at the end of the 1990s, so Americans did not take the final step in making their households as absolutely small and perfectly happy as possible. But, as with the Social Security Act, the right government program may be able to remedy this.
On another upbeat note, as a longtime smoker, I'm glad to say that Historical Statistics allows me to conclude that stopping smoking causes lung cancer. Practically all Americans claim to have stopped smoking back in the 1970s, as they inevitably tell you every time they bum a cigarette. And per capita cigarette consumption did drop steadily from 1973 to 1994. But during the same period, the incidence of lung and bronchial cancer rose from 42.5 per 100,000 people to 57.1 per 100,000.
Doing a little additional fooling around with the numbers, I can also conclude that nobody stopped smoking at all. Per capita cigarette smoking was higher in 1994 than it was in 1941, and if you watch 1940s movies, you know that back then everybody smoked. In 1994, the number of cigarettes smoked divided by the number of Americans over 18 equaled about 123 packs a year. So if it's only me who's still smoking, plus you every so often—but just socially—then the two of us are spending one hell of a lot of time outside the back door of the office building in all kinds of weather.
There's really no end to the things that one can conclude from these five volumes. Had I but world enough and time—and if the dog hadn't chewed my cheap, flimsy pocket calculator—I could prove, disprove, re-prove, and improve more things about America than America has things. And America has a lot of things. Of course it probably helps that my education in mathematics ended with a Little Bighorn experience involving Chief Soh Cah Toa in sophomore trig. And I've never taken a statistics course. I don't know a standard deviation from a deviation that would condemn me to eternal perdition, and I can't tell a bell curve from Ms. Clio's bustline. But all this is equally true of most readers. So I think I could pull it off.
Did you know that the percentage of young people in the crucial "youthquake" age bracket of 15 to 24 was higher in 1973 (18.5 percent) than in 1967 (16.7 percent)? Therefore it was glam rock that ended the war in Vietnam.
Mark Twain quoted the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli as saying, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." That in itself was either a collation of official data or a fib, since there's no record of Disraeli saying any such thing. This goes to show we should take Twain's statement in the spirit in which it was made. Who more than Samuel Clemens was fond of a very, very tall tale? Imagine how the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County would have performed if he'd been filled with the contents of the Millennial Edition of Historical Statistics of the United States.

Creating buzz is a critical goal for both startups and established companies. To do so, almost nothing compares to the power of free on the Internet. Established companies such as Whole Foods leverage free blogs, Twitter, and Facebook to deepen customer relationships, while small businesses such as law firms and nonprofits use SEO (search engine optimization) to get to the top of critical Google searches. Today's Internet world is a free-for-all of Google, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Google+, and other social media sites too numerous to list.
This course helps startups, small businesses, and even established companies understand the power of free on the Internet as well as the opportunities presented by Google SEO and social media marketing using Facebook and Twitter. Whether you are an entrepreneur or a marketing manager, this hands-on course will teach you the secrets of marketing without money. If you have a great idea or an ongoing business but limited budget, SEO and social media are the free keys that open the lock of Internet buzz.
Each week, we will take a new topic such as "How SEO Influences Google Results," "Google+ and Authorship Opportunities," "Twitter Marketing," or "Facebook Success Stories," and investigate case studies of success. Where are the free marketing opportunities? What are the common best practices that define success? And how do you use the knowledge from these case studies to build (or improve) your own strategy?

Redshirting players can be gamble, Colorado State's McElwain says
Posted By Tom Kensler On November 28, 2013 @ 1:06 pm In Air Force Academy,College Sports,Colorado State University,Football,Mountain West Conference | No Comments
FORT COLLINS — A few weeks ago, Colorado State appeared to have the most depth at running back of any team in the Mountain West.
But last weekend at Utah State, Kapri Bibbs suffered a "lower extremity" injury that likely will keep him out Saturday against Air Force.
And top reserve Donnell Alexander has missed the past two games with a knee issue. He is expected to play against Air Force but likely will not be 100 percent.
That leaves senior Chris Nwoke as the only experienced running back that's completely healthy — which prompted CSU coach Jim McElwain to refer to Bryce Peters, a redshirting freshman.
Peters is a 5-foot-11, 205-pound running back from Cypress Falls High School in metro Houston. He impressed during August camp, but McElwain and his staff decided early to redshirt Peters this season and preserve a year of eligibility.
Peters, who ran for 1,653 yards and 19 touchdowns at a high school senior, certainly could have helped, McElwain said.
"Every coach in America right now is thinking, 'I won't if I would have (played that guy)?" McElwain said. "I'm looking forward to spring ball, because we're going to have some great battles (at different positions) with young guys — guys that we put a redshirt on that could have played.
"But you know what? In four years, I'm going to be glad I did that."

This digitally animated short starts off like a Joel-Peter Witkin wet dream as the viewer is pulled through a yellowish cloud of grain, the shade of yellow a dead body can be known to take, complimented by a dreary organ tune that crackles and pops like an old recording getting ready to turn into dust right there on the turntable. Finally, we see a couple of naked bodies writhing about a chamber. The picture becomes clearer and the dreary tune changes to a tribal beat as the bodies begin a snakelike dance as they lash out at each other, not in a violent manner, but more like getting' to know ya love taps.
I've bitched and moaned plenty on this site about how I dislike the look of a computer generated human, but "Synchronicity" proves as an exception. This is because these hairless and sinewy human figures look like alien beings in the way they carry on in their slithery performance. Very impressive. A pure feast.

Milton, Nathaniel G.N. and Harris, J. Robin (2009) Polymorphism of amyloid-ß fibrils and its effects on human erythrocyte catalase binding. Micron, 40 (8). pp. 800-810. ISSN 0968-4328
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.micron.2009.07.006
The Alzheimer's amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide exists as a number of naturally occurring forms due to differential proteolytic processing of its precursor molecule. Many of the Aβ peptides of different lengths form fibrils in vitro, which often show polymorphisms in the fibril structure. This study presents a TEM based analysis of fibril formation by eighteen different Aβ peptides ranging in length from 5 to 43 amino acids. Spectrophotometric analysis of Congo red binding to the fibrillar material has been assessed and the binding of human erythrocyte catalase (HEC) to Aβ fibrils has also been investigated by TEM. The results show that a diverse range of Aβ peptides form fibrils and also bind Congo red. The ability of both Aβ 1–28 and Aβ 29–40 to form fibrils indicates that there are at least two fibril-forming domains within the full-length Aβ 1–40 sequence, the ability of many Aβ peptides to form Congo red-binding aggregates suggests that there may be up to 4 possible aggregation promoting domains. The binding of HEC was limited to Aβ forms containing residues 29–32. The differing capacities of fibrillar and ribbon-like structures may reflect the accessibility of the 29–32 region and suggest that HEC may be able to discriminate between different forms of Aβ fibrils.

You know, after reading this article I think I have a friend that might be suffering from diabetes. She's been complaining about being thirsty all the time lately, and getting sick a lot. I think I might suggest she get a glucose analysis done.
I think it might be a tough sell because she hates going to the doctor, but I think it would be good to know. At least if she finds out she has diabetes she can start treating it and hopefully feel better!

Myke WeiskopfJanuary 1998 |
EXILE FROM CLUBLAND: Disparate Prides
I was recently elected to the Youth Liaison/Event Coordinator position for the Boston Pride '98 Committee. As such, I've been doing a lot of thinking on what it is that makes Boston's gay youth feel proud of themselves, of their supporters, of their culture. Since I'm responsible for making sure the under-21 gay contingent are provided for in the coming year, I have the daunting responsibility of speaking on behalf of every segment of that demographic. This is a complex task not merely because gay kids, like all kids in general, come from every imaginable background, culture, and context. It is also difficult because I'm not sure exactly what it is that "we" want to take from Boston Pride each year. Certainly there are those who have made a conscious effort in everyday life to ensure that this generation will not merely while away their youth in passivity, just as there are those whose only outward motivation is to reap their wild oats with almost religious fervor. So, to give the issue some perspective, I had to evaluate my closest resources: my own friends.
This turned out to be a much more painful experience than I had hoped for, since it reflected not only on the people I associated with but on my own discretion and judgment in the matter. It has been said that we are only as good as our friends, and while I feel that statement to be a bit glib and potentially classist, our choices can't help but reflect on us in some way. And the best possible litmus test for this sort of dilemma is everyday experience.
So it was that I found myself on the weekend of June 13, 1997, in the small Cape Cod town of Hyannisburg, MA, witnessing the tail end of their own Pride event, just a week after Boston's own massive celebration. We had endured a particularly traumatic voyage down, complete with the usual mishaps-- car sickness, a poor sense of direction, a driver so overconcerned with the state of his car that he could barely find the inner strength to finish the voyage-- and had arrived in time to catch the last 30 minutes or so of a day-long event.
We split off into factions of varying sizes upon our arrival. An ex of mine had scampered off to inflict himself on Candace Gingrich, from whom I caught a terrified glance as the boy yapped excitedly in her face for the better part of ten minutes. I was content making small chat with some of the Pride Committee members, having made their acquaintance as one of the main performing acts on the Boston Pride Festival stage, while my lesbian friends swooned over singer-songwriter Michelle Malone, currently in action. All was, for the most part, well.
In the same way that lasting relationships are sometimes forged in small, simple moments rather than "major events," it happens that the smallest occurrences sometimes say the most about us as people. As the group's collective consciousness turned to thoughts of food, we had scavenged the streets of Hyannisburg with little success to satisfy our ravenous group. Taking to the highway once again, we made a brief pit stop in the most convenient and mostly satisfying choice of establishments: Wendy's.
Now, it's important that I say "mostly satisfying," because it had apparently only been a matter of concern to me that we, two carloads of gay kids, were stopping to eat at one of the most homophobic fast-food establishments in the country. Attempting to muster up some of that old-time pride in my fellow passengers, I noted this distinction and was met with thorough ridicule.
My ex spoke first. "Look, if it comes down to some gay cause and being able to eat, I think I'll take the food, OK?"
The lesbians were kinder about the situation, offering support for my political concern but choosing, ultimately, to give Dave Thomas their pink cash as well.
"I guess I just find it slightly ironic that we're eating at Wendy's after coming from a gay pride rally, that's all," I muttered.
Ultimately, they respected my intentions and went out of the way to find me an alternate food source, for which I owe them at least some credit. But the whole situation did strike me as horribly backwards. Wendy's had made no secret of its stance on homosexuals in its establishment, even pulling spots from the ELLEN television show to remind the American public that gay people just don't eat at Wendy's, and if they do, they aren't welcome. Wendy's doesn't offer domestic-partnership benefits and Mr. Thomas has been known to make an off-color remark or five on the subject. So my question remained: What the hell were we, a group of conscionable and very proud gay youth, doing even *considering* eating at this place? Is gay pride just another T-shirt and a bunch of metal rings on a chain?
In this particular instance-- perhaps the most pointed example of disparity between word and deed that I can think of-- it is difficult for me to find any redemption on behalf of my friends. And perhaps I make a greater issue of their decision than is absolutely necessary. However, when given a fair amount of information about the anti-gay corporate rhetoric that their chosen establishment had disseminated, they failed to "Stand up, Stand out, Stand together," as Boston Pride '97's slogan had so nobly stated. Rather than simply choose another establishment, they conveniently tucked away their ideals and, by doing so, completely revealed the falsity of their sentiments on Pride. Most embarrassingly, my ex had spoken with Gingrich about becoming a part of the national commission for gay youth. Where would they fall if presented with, say, a petition against HB117, the Hawaiian anti-same-sex marriage bill? Will they simply wave away any opposition that comes their way? Talk is cheap, dear reader, and occasionally we have to sacrifice a Wendyburger or two to make ourselves heard.
It seems unfair to broaden this experience and point the spotlight out on America's gay youth with this dilemma in mind, but it is something that you might want to consider about yourself and your friends. To what extent are you willing to stand by your beliefs, even if it seems idiotic or trivial to others? It's a similar situation to poor American voter turnout. People sincerely seem to believe that their individual actions will have little to no effect on the end result of a nationwide process. But when people's rights are suspended, or when anti-gay legislation or homophobic corporate policy is effected, suddenly the uproar begins. It is important to recognize that every detail that you can attend to in your life, even if it creates an inconvenience, is worth the effort. Activism doesn't have to mean laying down in the middle of the highway or chaining yourself to the pillars of the State House. Choose your restaurants, your airlines, your insurance agencies, your realtors, your schools, senators, mayors, presidents, employers, and-- yes-- your friends, with great care. You never know when the mirror might be turned back on you.

Lil Wayne Quits Rap, Dedicating More Time To Terrible Skateboarding
espn – Although the rapper's latest mixture, "Dedication 4," drops Aug. 15, last week in an interview with Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9, Wayne said he's going to be taking a hiatus from his music career to focus his full attention on skateboarding. "I picked up the skateboard and I thought it'd be a hobby, and what happened is it's a lifestyle," he said. "In order to be fully committed, you have to live that lifestyle. With these young kids now, you have to be about that life. It's kind of putting rap on the back burner. Rap is taking a backseat to skating. I believe my fans deserve some peace from me. I'll be on my skateboard in the meantime." In his latest interview, Wayne went on to describe a flat-bar and a quarter pipe he has installed in his recording booth, "so as soon as I get off the mic, I just drop the board down and skate." The prolific rapper, who's released nine albums and 17 mix tapes and appeared as a guest on hundreds of tracks, has been performing since he was 8 years old, when most kids would be asking their parents for their first skateboard. With his long history behind a microphone and in front of an audience of millions, perhaps it's not surprising that he's stepping back. "I'm always looking for the next thing to do. It does get pretty boring when it comes to just the rapping and all that type of stuff," he said.
Obviously my initial gut reaction:
But then I thought about it for a while and gotta admit that this is a brilliant move for Weezy F. Skatey. Dude oversaturated the market with Lil Wayne-ness over the past 3-4 years. He was everywhere. Courtside at every game, arguing about Tebow with Skip Bayless, wearing sassy 10 year-old girls pants at the VMA's…spreading himself too thin. A break is exactly what he needs. Plus if he can prove to more skaters that he's legit and totally not some fake-gangster poser who keeps ollying solely to push more crap from his skate clothing line, the more moola the YMCMB general will have. People are already sick of Drake. Lil Wayne not rapping anymore is about 5 years overdue. Hopefully he can stay retired long enough to make a Lil Wayne return song something worth listening to and not just 32 bars about him eating pussy landing kickflips.
Follow your dreams, kids. Even if you're really bad at them.
