Suits Season 1 Episode 6
Tricks of the Trade
A young stock trader names Gabi got flagged for a trade she made for her firm, landing her in the path of the Department of Justice, who was hellbent on having her serve time for a crime she didn't knowingly commit.
When Mike believes that Gabi is innocent, it becomes up to both Mike and Harvey to investigate improprieties for the sake of the firm's future health, which is their client, while clearing Gabi of any wrongdoing.
Mike offers to help Rachel prep for the upcoming LSAT exam. When a friend close to Rachel suggests and alternative way of passing the exam, she takes the advice and almost puts the future of her legal career in jeopardy. Unfortunately, it put her relationship with Mike in jeopardy instead when she discovers he's the one taking the test on behalf of others.

So we're vanilla "lolret" again?
I'm sure i'm a ripple in the chaotic maelstrom that is complaints about ret changes, but if I don't complain I'll regret it if these glaring issues aren't fixed soon. That's right, fixed. Idk what the blizzard number crunchers think balancing is, but we were already underpowered compared to mages and dps warriors. Now it seems like our trusted reliable hard hitting melee attacks have been replaced by foam therapy bats. My Crusader Strike (2nd highest dps ability pre 4.0.3) should be renamed to something feeble like Nerd Slap, as I've yet to see it enter the quintuple digits (which was commonplace pre-4.0.3). Templar's Verdict has gotten about a 25% damage nerf; I rarely see it land for over 20k. There's no reason for this; ret was hardly OP in PvE. And to top it all off, Exorcism received a 50% damage buff? CS = 40%+ nerf? TV = 25%+ nerf? Exo = better than a 3 point TV? -.- Before 4.0 went live Blizzard developers said that they wanted to make ret more rotation based and less FCFS...um did they just decide to throw that out the window? Cause all i see ret as now is a latency based RNG class; "rng" being 50ft concrete letters. Yes, this is the same complaint that is on the Paladin forums. I just wanted to expand the demographic and get some non-paladin opinions. |
well this is new and exciting. i dont think i have seen this thread at all since tuesday.
I think the silliest, stupidest nerf was putting Crusader Strike and Divine Storm on the same cooldown.
What were you thinking Blizzard? |
I think the silliest, stupidest nerf was putting Crusader Strike and Divine Storm on the same cooldown. Well first they nerfed DS along with all AE damage abilities. DS is only strong on multiple targets. It is no longer effective against a single target. I see no reason to tie CS to DS, one is a talented ae damage/heal deep in the ret tree, the other a baseline single target melee attack. Tying DS to CS has rendered DS completely useless. |
I think that ret was fine as it was. The rotation was good and I did a decent amount of damage, while still being out-dps'd by pure DPS classes. Putting CS and DS on the same cooldown seems like a bad idea. There are times during a boss fight where I'm spending a good couple of seconds not doing anything.
Even at 85 with inquisition, we're not very good. During the beta, I had a premade 85 and he felt very weak. At least we still make good tanks. I just hope they make us more viable as a DPS class again. |

Ret dps is fine and viable, our mechanics are not. If ur dps is low its a L2P issue not a class tuning issue.

Ret dps is fine and viable, our mechanics are not. this is the big reason we're complaining about. not about our nerfed dps. ...it's actually ok. we're complaining about our mechanics that dont work with each other and cause extreme frustration every time we fight a mob |
All of the ret paladins who are actually good at the game that I play with are really digging this patch. They received much needed mobility buff and some stronger ranged damage at the cost of hammer of skill damage?
The problem blizzard has with retribution paladins is that half the community are clicking keyboard turners that only keybind 1 thing - the damage dealing forums so they can come cry every time they get outplayed. FYI I just pumped 241,000 damage into a protection spec paladin and he perpetually healed himself and eventually killed me over the course of 5 minutes. If retribution's skillcap is too high for you guys crying maybe try protection for pvp, anyone can be a winner with that spec. |
...the skill cap isn't the problem mr elitist. the basic functions are. ret as a spec is frustrating as hell to try to master...which you can't btw, as long as rng rules the spec.
people thought we played "whack-a-mole" before this overhaul, get an 80 ret and watch all the procs flying across your screen, or the times where nothing happens at all. besides that, haste rules the spec. without enough of it, it's just not fun at all to play, with both our ramp-up mechanics tied directly into haste. we're going to run into the old warrior problem of weak early-game/OP end game. |
Long, oddly spelt words hurt my logical brain, apologies.
Unnecessary. So can I leave forum purgatory now?
Edited by Mystearicâ on 11/26/2010 1:41 AM PST
Lol @ the big epeen full wrathful pvp warrior COMPLETELY ignoring the initial post and QQing about pre-4.0.3 HoWs because he was killed before he could skillstorm. I'm pretty sure I didn't mention the HoW nerf at all, or PvP funtionality for that matter. My complaints are aimed solely towards the nerfs to ret's 2 main dps abilities and their PvE utility. And last time I checked this isn't the PvP forum, nor are we talking about PvP.
Tiny nerfs? So huge hits to our main dps abilities is a tiny nerf now? I'd go test my dps on a dummy, but i can't seem to find one level appropriate. =(
Are we level 85? No. So why implement changes that don't affect game play for another 2 weeks? =s
This is 100% false. I am a great ret who was in the cataclysm test from the absolute second 31 pt trees were released, there is not a single person in the world with more cataclysm experience then me, and I killed nearly ever normal boss and several heroic modes on beta. Neither me or our other ret were ever in the top 5 on fights we didn't cheese (I got second on a Halfus kill with full on cheese, still lost to a boomkin who didn't cheat). http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-on2moe0bbkumtd7l/sum/damageDone/?s=2634&e=2993 Here is a log where I played perfectly, 95%+ uptime on inquisition (on a fight where you have several breaks in combat, causing most of the inquisition loss). I was 16% behind the leader, and 11% behind the top melee (who did not play as well as me, with a significantly lower uptime). Ret may not be the worst spec in the game at 85(in PvE, in PvP I am fairly certain it is), but it certainly isn't top5 capable in a good guild (we are 16th US), stop spewing non-sense you heard from some guy who heard from some guy who's cousin is friends with the brother of someone in Premo or some BS. |

Hey Tipper and Al: Why Divorce After 40 Years?
I'm the skeptical, jaded type who believes the passionate kiss former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper exchanged in front of the Democratic National Convention in July of 2004 was most likely staged. But I am truly puzzled, with the rest of America, on why a couple who seemed so together is now splitting after 40 years.
I'm not only puzzled, but also disheartened. Because I respect and admire couples who have made it beyond their silver anniversary. Like everyone else confused by the Gores decision, I suppose I attach a layer of immunity to the partners who've raised their kids, launching them successfully. Now they are safe to buy that double burial lot because, like or not, they are sticking together.

JERUSALEM, Israel (CNN) -- Israel is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. Here is some history surrounding the trial and gets reactions to the trial and the anniversary.
Gabriel Bach was a young Israeli prosecutor charged with the case of a lifetime. He says, "I'll never forget the first moment of that trail, when these judges came into the court room with the Israeli emblem behind them and that man whose only object in life had became to destroy that people, when he stood up to attention."
The man, Adolf Eichman, on trial in Jerusalem for the genocide of some 6,000,000 million Jews
Mickey Goldman was there too. He was one of the police investigators who helped build the case against the notorious Nazi and he was also one of the victims, bearing the tattooed scar of his time in the Auschwitz death camp....

By Todd NeeleyDTN Staff Reporter
OMAHA (DTN) -- A bill to place tougher restrictions on winter manure applications in Iowa passed a first hurdle Wednesday, as a subcommittee in the Iowa Senate approved the legislation. State environmental groups and others tout the bill as important to improving water quality in the state, while a livestock group opposed to it calls the bill an overreach.
The Iowa Senate Natural Resources and Environment Subcommittee voted 2-1 to move the bill to the full committee.
The bill advanced by the subcommittee Wednesday would require a number of changes to state law when it comes to manure applications. The state's ban on spreading manure from confined animal feeding operations would be strengthened to include when the ground is frozen or snow-covered, when the ground is water-saturated, when the 24-hour weather forecast calls for one-half inch of rain or more, and when the ground is sloped at 20% or higher.
The agriculture industry, in particular confined animal feeding operations, have faced increased scrutiny in recent years following the release of the state's voluntary nutrient reduction strategy currently being implemented. In addition, farmers and rural communities in the Des Moines area are likely to be sued by Des Moines Water Works as it continues efforts to filter nitrates from the Raccoon River.
Under current law, a person may apply manure originating from an animal feeding operation on snow-covered or frozen ground, except during a period beginning in winter and ending in early spring. An exception allows such applications if there is an emergency, the manure originates from a small animal feeding operation, or if the manure is injected or incorporated.
Dal Grooms, communications director for the Iowa Cattlemen's Association, said her group is opposed to the bill because it would place an unnecessary regulatory burden on Iowa farmers who already follow a set of rules.
"There are laws and rules currently in place that protect Iowa's surface waters from improper manure applications to farm fields and pastures," she said in a statement to DTN. "Iowa farmers are probably some of the keenest consumers of weather forecasting. However, a law that dictates they must make a key management decision based on a prediction of a 50% chance of receiving a 1/4-inch or more of precipitation seems like government overreach. Iowa cattle producers recognize the nutrient value of their manure, and would not jeopardize the loss of time or economics by applying manure when it would have minimal agronomic effect."
Grooms said many cattle feeders targeted by the bill already have government-approved manure management plans and/or nutrient management plans. Those plans require producers to comply in a number of ways. That includes incorporating liquid manure on snow-covered and/or frozen ground, applying manure according to the separation distances for tile inlets and surface waters, among other things.
"These legal restrictions don't even take into account the best-management practices cattle producers are also using," she said.
The bill would set administrative civil penalties for violations of up to $10,000, or judicially assessed penalties of up to $5,000 a day per violation.
A number of members of the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund touted the subcommittee's action.
"This bill is commonsense," said Barb Kalbach, board president of Iowa CCI Action Fund and a fourth-generation farmer, in a press release. "You can't spread manure when it's not safe -- period. Anyone who's against this bill is against clean water."
The bill moved out of the subcommittee on a partisan vote, with Democratic Sens. Joe Bolkcom of Iowa City, and Janet Petersen of Des Moines voting yes. Sen. Ken Rozenboom, R-Oskaloosa, cast the dissenting vote. Rozenboom is co-owner of Rosewood Farms in Mahaska County.
DTN's attempt to reach Rozenboom was unsuccessful.
Cherie Mortice, a CCI Action Fund member, said in a statement that a change in the law is necessary to further protect water.
"These clear definitions on when manure shouldn't be applied really are commonsense," she said in a press release. "Farmers who care about protecting Iowa's water would never spread manure under these conditions, but unfortunately voluntary compliance just doesn't work."
According to Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action fund, a number of lobbying groups have come out in favor of the proposal, including the Iowa Farmer's Union. The regional utility Des Moines Water Works is also in favor. So far, just the Iowa Cattlemen's Association has expressed public opposition to the measure.
The Iowa Legislature passed legislation in 2009 that limits surface application of liquid manure from confinement feeding operations during the winter, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The law restricts manure application except in emergency situations.
The number of requests for emergency application of manure in Iowa has dropped in recent years, according to a February 2013 IDNR report.
There were 43 such requests in the winter of 2009-2010, according to IDNR, nine in winter 2010-2011, zero in 2011-2012 and just two in 2012-2013.
Confinements large enough to require a manure management plan -- operations with more than 500 animals -- are prohibited from surface applying if manure cannot be injected or incorporated from Dec. 21 to April 1 on snow-covered ground, and Feb. 1 to April 1 if the ground is frozen.
The legislature defined what constitutes an emergency, and a failure to properly account for the manure volume to be stored is not an emergency. The law gives several examples of emergencies, indicating they would be limited to infrequent events that could generally not be avoided such as a natural disaster, unusual weather conditions, or equipment or structural failure.
In 2010, producers who were concerned about having enough manure storage asked the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission for more time to improve storage capacity. The commission allowed confinement producers with inadequate storage to make emergency applications through the winter of 2014-2015.
According to IDNR, there are about 5,500 confinement feeding operations in the state that are required to have manure management plans, and to keep records of manure application and plan changes. The operations are required to submit annual updates.

Boulder, CO and Madison, WI 10 SEPTEMBER 2008 The latest evidence about the theory of evolution and its importance of teaching it in classrooms are the subject of two public programs in early October, which are presented as part of a large scientific meeting that will draw upwards of 8,000 participants to Houston.
The two special programs include a Public Forum and a Teacher Forum, held in conjunction with the Joint Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America, Soil Science Society of America, American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies. A question-and-answer session with the audience will follow both presentations.
Evolution Public Forum
Houston area residents and media are invited to attend "Understanding Evolution: A Public Forum," on Tuesday evening, 7 October, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the George R. Brown Convention Center, General Assembly Theater B. There is no charge for the program and registration is not required.
A panel of experts will give a non-technical presentation on the latest geological evidence for evolution, the finding of "missing" links, the importance of understanding evolution to modern societies, the nature of science, and why intelligent design should not be considered science.
"The records of the earth and of life are clear: over about 4 billion years, life appeared and evolved to what we have today," says panelist Jere Lipps, Curator of Paleontology, Museum of Paleontology; Professor, Department of Integrative Biology, University of California-Berkeley. Panelist and program moderator Roger Thomas, J.W. Nevin Professor of Geosciences, Department of Earth and Environment, Franklin & Marshall College; and Secretary of the Paleontological Society, adds, "We, the food we eat, and diseases that afflict us are all evolving togetherin ways that we intend and in ways that we cannot avoid, as a result of our creative

The export of mRNAs is a multistep process, involving the packaging of mRNAs into messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs), their transport through nuclear pore complexes, and mRNP remodeling events prior to translation. Ribonucleic acid export 1 (Rae1) and Nup98 are evolutionarily conserved mRNA export factors that are targeted by the vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein to inhibit host cell nuclear export. Here, we present the crystal structure of human Rae1 in complex with the Gle2-binding sequence (GLEBS) of Nup98 at 1.65 A resolution. Rae1 forms a seven-bladed beta-propeller with several extensive surface loops. The Nup98 GLEBS motif forms an approximately 50-A-long hairpin that binds with its C-terminal arm to an essentially invariant hydrophobic surface that extends over the entire top face of the Rae1 beta-propeller. The C-terminal arm of the GLEBS hairpin is necessary and sufficient for Rae1 binding, and we identify a tandem glutamate element in this arm as critical for complex formation. The Rae1*Nup98(GLEBS) surface features an additional conserved patch with a positive electrostatic potential, and we demonstrate that the complex possesses single-stranded RNA-binding capability. Together, these data suggest that the Rae1*Nup98 complex directly binds to the mRNP at several stages of the mRNA export pathway.

President Obama might have a few celebrity pals, but let's get something straight: His inner circle of top officials does not include the star of "Two and a Half Men." Nor The Coal Miner's Daughter. People keep confusing Ashton Carter, the new defense secretary, for hunky actor Ashton Kutcher. And not just regular folks scanning […]
Country queen Loretta Lynn has signed a new multi-album contract with Legacy Recordings, which plans a 2015 release of the "Coal Miner's Daughter" singer/songwriter's first album of new material in more than a decade.
In Beneath, a coal miner (Jeff Fahey) about to retire picks the wrong time to finally follow the old "bring your daughter to work day" concept. When the young woman (Kelly Noonan) joins dad and his mining crew, she's underground when a collapse traps them all hundreds of feet below — sorry, beneath the surface. Show More Summary

Re: Pens Training Camp is Under Way!
Day 3 Tidbits:
Scrimmage Highlights:
The Crosby-Malkin scrimmage ended with Malkin's group (C) taking a 2-1 victory. Here are the highlights (courtesy of Jason Seidling):
First Period
12:54: There was a penalty called on Walker. Malkin was awarded a penalty shot. He made a move to his forehand but Thiessen stopped the shot with his right pad.
10:37: GOAL! Veilleux got the puck to Sterling atop the far circle. Sterling ripoed a wrist shot, top shelf, over the shoulder of Thiessen (Wagner awarded the second assist).
6:50: GOAL! There was a rebound at the feet of Thiessen. Sterling was there to knock it into the net for his second goal of the game and tournament.
Period 2
18:30: Brent Johnson was under siege early. Potter made a great play at the near point to create a shot for himself. Johnson made the save and squirmed along the ice to stop Veilleux's rebound chance.
10:04: Kennedy has looked unreal. He skated like it was Game 7 of the Cup Final. Kennedy was flying on the ice, getting into scrums and creating chances. He was rewarded for his efforts by getting a chance to play on Malkin's line. Malkin carried the puck down the midde and found Kennedy cutting down the right side. Kennedy sent a backhander just over the net.
5:31: GOA! A hooking penalty gave 2009 first-round pick Simon Despres a penalty shot. The smooth skating defenseman skated in on Fleury and beat him with a wrist shot just under the glove. The score made it 2-1, and things got more interesting.
1:20: Group A pulled netminder Brent Johnson for the extra attacker.
0:04: With time running out Brooks Orpik sent a desperation shot towards the goal. The puck slid untouched through the crease, around the corner and out of the zone to seal the game.
0:00: The game ended with a 2-1 victory for Group C, thanks to two goals from Brett Sterling.
__________________________________________________ _______________________
Here are the line combinations and D-pairings the Penguins are using this morning during the scrimmage between Sidney Crosby's Team A and Evgeni Malkin's Team B.
Group A
N. Johnson-Craig-Wallace
Johnson (backup)
Group C
Fleury (backup)
Coachspeak with Bylsma:
Coachspeak with Dan Bylsma.
On the teams health:
We have been (relatively healthy), but were at the point in camp now were its evident. Were starting to get fatigue and thats playing into what you see on the ice a little bit, both in practice and in (scrimmages). We need to make sure we give the appropriate rest to players while trying to get the work.
On Ray Sheros extension:
I think its well deserved when you see what Ray has done here and what he continues to do, both in getting good players and building a team and a nucleus and foundation for what the Penguins are and how they play. Im certainly happy for him.
On the Penguins organization:
I think theres a clear understanding of what it means to be a Pittsburgh Penguin. Whether youre a staff member, a coach or a player, there is something distinct and unique about that. And in a very short period of time, I think thats happened with our organization. And I think it translates into what you see on the ice. Thats unique. Theres a clear understanding of the players and the people and how we do things and what it means to be a Penguin. Its not an easy thing to do, but [Shero]s done a very good job with that.
On Wednesdays game being the first ever game at CONSOL Energy Center:
That the game on the 22nd is the first game in this building definitely played into some of the decision about the lineup. I think Sidney Crosby should be in that game, being the first game. And other guys like Evgeni Malkin and Brooks Orpik who have been with the organization for a long time, they are playing in that game because of that reason. On top of that, we really have three different types of games here. The first two are where players will get opportunities to get exhibition games. The second two are still more opportunities, but guys will have earned those games, and maybe the competition and some of the spots on our team will be playing out based on how the first two games go. Then five and six will be more of getting down to our team and situations for players to see themselves in.
On taking in the first game:
Im really looking forward to seeing the building full, and see a National Hockey League game in here and seeing the energy and excitement and what it will be like. I just have a feeling that this game will different than a normal preseason game will be.
On Letestu:
Mark Letestu played games as our third-line center last year when he played in the National Hockey League. He was put in a playoff game because we were trying to win and he was a guy we thought could help us do that. So to see him on a line with Cooke and Asham is an indication of what we think a possibility for him to have success would be in.
On Tangradi:
Eric Tangradi is a guy we think can be a top-six guy or a winger with a good center-man and another good winger, and hes getting that opportunity.
On his plans for camp:
The great thing about training camp is that every day its planned out and you execute that plan. Theres not really an adjustment to that plan for five or six days. So in terms of getting things done, its very planned out. The work and the drills and the pace that we have is planned out to get the work and the necessary conditioning in. Giving players and certain scenarios time to play out is all scheduled out. To this point, we feel pretty good about the first three days of planning.
On having NHL guys competing for spots:
I think its important. There are certain scenarios in a players career where they have a heightened sense of competitiveness, like contract years, coming to camp on a tryout, going to a new team, there are areas where you have a heightened sense of competitiveness. When you have that, thats where you want your players to be. Having 12 players in camp and everyones assured of their jobs doesnt provide that. So having depth and players that can compete for different opportunities and spots is important, especially in a short period of camp. We need to get competition and people need to earn their spots or move up in the organization whether its from Wilkes-Barre to Pittsburgh or moving up in the lineup.

A "seemingly quirky finding" peers into animal minds. It may also help show how Nazis abused play and laughter to horrid ends.
Nature's Edge Notebook #19
Observation, Analysis, Reflection, New Questions
What is it like to be a squirrel?
Or, say, a bat… or a giraffe, or a chickadee?
Suppose you could actually feel what it's like to be another animal … not just guess, after observing its actions and behavior from the outside, but actually break through the prison of subjectivity — both yours and the squirrel's — and know you can feel it, as if from inside the squirrel's brain.
Of course, no two species have exactly the same set of sensory inputs. For example, we lack the bat's special sonic radar, its "echolocation" systems. So ultimately we humans could only guess what it's fully "like."
But one scientist's "seemingly quirky finding" — that rats emit a sort of giggling laughter when they are tickled by humans — is opening a new path for scientists and philosophers in their quest to answer this ancient question.
It's all about emotion, and especially joy, that great reward in the brain, which, once experienced, we then naturally seek to achieve again … and which can help "make life worth living."
As a result of their discovery that tickling rats makes them laugh, brain scientist Jaak Panksepp and his colleagues are now producing what they hope will prove to be more effective anti-depressants — chemicals that not only dull negative feelings, but safely enhance positive ones.
Their work on how play and laughter can automatically produce the feeling of joy in the brain may also help clarify the difference between the artificially induced "high" produced by addictive drugs and the true "joy" that may be produced naturally and safely.
On the dark side, his work on animal laughter offers insights into how the group-bonding effects of play behavior may be susceptible to manipulation for cruel ends. It seems to illuminate such abuses as the Nazi's manipulation of the Olympic Games to advance racist ideology, and even an infamous anti-Semitic board game marketed in Hitler's Germany in 1936.
The Hunt For Hard Evidence
To believe that you may well be able to "feel" at least something of what it's "like" to be another kind of animal would, of course, need some sort of evidence that your feelings and those of the other animal could be reasonably presumed to be in any way the same and that you experience those similar feelings in similar ways — be they in a human and a squirrel, or a human and a bat … or a salamander, or a Dover sole on the floor of the English Channel, or a goldfish in a fishbowl on a dresser peering down at a sleeping child.
After Panksepp made his delightful discovery in the 1990s that rats emit repeated chirps of laughter when tickled (as seen in this brief video in our previous Nature's Edge Notebook), he and his team began to suspect they might just have discovered a way to get rats (and eventually perhaps other animals) to, in effect, tell us what they were feeling … and even, in a sense, something of what it is generally like to be a rat or a race horse or a three-wattled bell-bird.
Some scientists are even playing with the idea that the happily chirping lab rats might eventually lead the way to new notions of how consciousness itself, or at least the general feeling of awareness, might be similar, if not exactly the same, in many species.
Towards a Solid Science of the Emotional Feelings of Animals (though other neuroscientists remain doubtful)
In an email to ABC News, Panksepp explains that his team is still exploring the chirping laughter of tickled lab rats 15 years after they discovered it, partly because "the laughter response … allows us to monitor the positive affective states (feelings) of animals objectively."
He speaks of his "intent in really making a solid science of this seemingly quirky finding, … a science of the emotional feelings of animals … as opposed to just (of their) behaviors."
Panksepp says that "most neuroscientists are still dead-set against talking about the feelings of animals — as if it were just a matter of opinion, as opposed to a conclusion based on the weight of abundant evidence."
Enter his ticklish laughing rats.
In experiment after experiment, Panksepp's labs have found them reacting to the feelings of joy in ways similar to humans and (apparently) other animals – seeking it out, "self-stimulating" for it, sometimes in ways that even demonstrate that such play-induced joy may have a "liability to addiction."
If Panksepp is right, his rats could, in effect, be laughing in the faces of those scientists who, he says, still "deem the emotional feelings of animals to be outside the bounds of empirical measurement."
His discovery that his rats' laughter arises from inborn structures deep in the brain, combined with years of experiments to determine what sort of activity and other stimulation does and does not produce "rat vocalizations" (laughing chirps), has led Panksepp to declare (in the journal "Future Neurology") that the happy chirps may indeed "be used as direct readouts of emotional states."
What Pet Owners May Already 'Know'
This may all seem rather obvious to pet owners, in a non-scientific sort of way.
They often report that they and their beloved dogs or cats share mutual languages rich in vocabularies of an endless variety of modulated meows and purrs, yips and barks, growls and groans, sweet whimpers, sly screeches, subtle hums, and half-gurgles, ruffs, gruffs and rawls.
These subtly varied sounds, say pet owners, communicate emotions common to human and cat, or human and dog — and even, they claim, can convey not only emotions but plain and practical "intellectual ideas" involving food, shelter, and the need for creative play, as well as observations about important disruptions in the status quo.
But after years of steady work in his lab, Panksepp says he and his colleagues can now present something far more testable — more scientific — than the declarations of happy pet owners.
They report that they have now tracked communicative sounds (at least in rats, but with well-established and reasonable analogues in other animals including humans) to the specific deep-brain structures that produce specific emotions.
For his fellow scientists, he labels these sounds "validated emotional vocalizations."
If you're not a scientist, you can get a sense of their work — have a bit of fun, engage in a little word play — by reading just the titles of three of the jargon-rich and peer-reviewed scientific articles in which he and his team have reported these findings over the years.
Don't be afraid.
This reporter is certainly no scientist either, but I find that if you read these titles slowly and calmly, they start to make sense pretty quickly:
"'Laughing rats' and the evolutionary antecedents of human joy?" (Panksepp and Bergdorf in Physiology & Behavior, 4/2003.)
"Cross-Species Affective Neuroscience Decoding of the Primal Affective Experiences of Humans and Related Animals." (Panksepp in PLoS Public Library of Science 9/2011)
(That phrase, "Primal Affective Experiences," refers roughly to basic emotions or feelings that evolved long ago in various species… including in those animals that eventually evolved into the likes of us.)
And if you're really feeling frisky, try this:
"Frequency-modulated 50 kHz ultrasonic vocalizations: a tool for uncovering the molecular substrates of positive affect" (Burgdorf, Panksepp, Moskal in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews35 / 2011)
(Rough translation: how "ultrasonic vocalizations" — i.e., the laughter of tickled rats — may help lead scientists to find "molecular substrates of positive affect" – i.e., those structures in the brain that help make you feel good.)
'The Dark Side of Laughter'… and 'An Ancient Heritage'
The study of laughter and play has a long lineage.
Many philosophers have offered their insights. Aristotle and Plato wrote that laughter showed derision, asserted superiority.
The Bible's Book of Proverbs says, "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine."
Modern writer Umberto Eco built an entire detective novel around, among other things, the subversive power of laughter:
Eco's "The Name of the Rose," set in a remote monastery in medieval Liguria in the coastal mountains of northwest Italy, circles around the vexed (for some) theological question of whether Jesus Christ ever laughed.
(Some grouchy monks apparently just couldn't stand the idea, thought it dangerous.)
In their 2003 article above, "'Laughing rats' and the evolutionary antecedents of human joy?", Panksepp and Burgdorf assert that there has been little meaningful scientific work on the nature and purpose of laughter since French physician Laurent Joubert published his "Treatise on Laughter" in 1579, until now.
This fascinating article is not all that hard to read — at least the one-paragraph summary "Abstract" at the beginning.
It also tells how it all started — how one day, sometime "during the spring in 1997, the senior author came to the Lab, and suggested to the junior author, 'Let's go tickle some rats.' "
In considering the nature and the mystery of human laughter, they remark on the fact that laughter first appears in human babies soon after birth, and thus seems to be inborn:
They say the fact that the "vocal pattern of human laughter, that first appears in rudimentary form at 2-3 months of age, suggests an ancient heritage."
In other words, that laughter seems to have evolved long ago in animals far more "primitive" than us, and survived through the bloody struggles of natural selection (only the fittest making it to pass on their laughter-loving DNA)… making survival more likely, and thus being "preserved" (kept) by evolution right up to the modern human, to say nothing of the modern lab rat.
All of which suggests that laughter can help confer a powerful advantage in the world's hard struggles in which an animal must stay alive long enough to pass on its genes… otherwise why would laughter be so widespread and long-lived down through the great eons of time?
A sobering section in the article is headed, "… And the dark side of laughter."
It cites evidence that "Usually the children that prevail in play tend to laugh the most, suggesting that, to some extent, laughter may reflect a social dominance-seeking response, which may pave the way for laughter to stigmatize and degrade others through such behavior."
The authors also evoke painful playground memories:
"All too often, especially in children, laughter tends to become a psychological tool for teasing and taunting — the establishment of exclusionary group identities that can set the stage for finding mirth in the misfortunes of others. These tendencies may arise rather naturally from the fact that within-group laughter promotes group solidarity, which can then be used to ostracize and exhibit scorn toward those outside the group."
They are careful to say: "We doubt if most other animals are capable of exhibiting such psychological tendencies, but such possibilities certainly need to be considered in future research…"
But they go on to cite other studies of human laughter and play that open the possibility of play behavior (and the instinctive inborn laughter and joy that attends it) being used even for horrendous ends, since laughter "can also serve as the basis for social ridicule."
An Insight Into the Horrors of Hitler?
We asked a scholar of the Third Reich, Professor Geoffrey Cocks, author of several books on psychiatry and medicine in Hitler's Germany, for his general thoughts about whether play and laughter might have been enlisted in that regime's development — something that might resonate with the above description of how "within-group laughter promotes group solidarity, which can then be used to ostracize and exhibit scorn toward those outside the group."
Cocks replied to ABC News in an email that "First, there is a sequence in Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935) in which Hitler Youth at the 1934 Nuremberg rally are shown at play: one scene shows boys being tossed high in the air off a tarpaulin and another scene shows 'chariot races' with two boys the 'horses' and another standing on their backs as the 'charioteer.'"
Director Riefenstahl's infamous propaganda film "Triumph of the Will" shows Hitler's massively choreographed rallies in Nuremburg — enormous plays of pageantry — apparently reinforcing group solidarity.
She followed it with her 1938 film "Olympia," which depicts the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin Germany as a similarly cohesive display of imputed German "Aryan" racial superiority, displayed through the muscular German teamwork in these "games."
The film was advertised with a poster of happily smiling young blond women.
Cocks also suggested a possible example of the abuse of play in the Hitler Youth: "It is true that the Nazi youth organizations in particular did put a special emphasis on physical activity, including play, as a means of 'toughening' Germany's youth as well promoting solidarity."
He added this grim note:
"There were board games in Nazi Germany that were designed to strengthen racial and national resolve. The most infamous was the board game Juden Raus! ["Out With the Jews!"] (1936), in which the object was to collect the most Jews and throw them out of town."
But a quick check online, after Googling the three words "Nazi board games," suggests some ironic news about the limits of this dark side of play and laughter.
It seems that the board game "Juden Raus!" was an "unsuccessful commercial product," attempting to ride the wave of official anti-Semitism and racism that was being whipped up by Hitler and his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.
Ironically, according to citations in recent historical research, this board game was "criticized by an SS journal that felt it trivialized anti-Semitic policies."
Perhaps not serious enough? — And let's have no laughter; you never know where it might be redirected?
Did even the mere possibility of fun and play, whatever might trigger it, frighten the SS as being somehow too free?
Modern play studies find abundant evidence that play has evolved to keep brains and minds open and flexible, free to consider a wide range of options — something dictators might well fear.
'By and Large a Grim and Humorless Group'
In any case, Cocks, while noting that "It may well be that the subject of laughter and humor as a weapon of exclusion under Nazism is a subject waiting to be explored," does reflect that the Nazis "were by and large a grim, humorless group."
Which is, of course, in no way to say that they might not still have won World War Two. History tells of many victories by grim and humorless leaders who led brutal regimes.
But we instinctively sense a big difference between derisive vaunting laughter that excludes and truly joyful laughter that seems evidence of open-heartedness, the kind of laughter we'd find it hard to imagine in a cruel despot.
It seems that something in addition to "mere play" — perhaps from brain structures that promote empathy and sympathy — needs to moderate pure play if it is to resist abuse for cruel ends.
A Possible Explanation of the Modern 'Roast'
As Panksepp and Burgdorf point out, the neurobiological study of laughter (and its attendant emotion, joy) as inborn impulses of the brain — both seated deeply in the brainstem right alongside other basic impulses including fear, lust and rage — is in its infancy.
But they do offer a hint about our society's evolving use of laughter as a way to keep dominant personalities from taking themselves too seriously, which can always be a dangerous characteristic, especially in potential role models.
They point out the complex play of dominance and group-building in a recent comic invention that might have been incomprehensible to some past cultures that took dominance very seriously — the modern "roast."
"In adults, most laughter occurs in the midst of simple friendly social interactions while greeting and 'ribbing' each other rather than in response to explicit verbal jokes," they write in the "'laughing' rats…" article:
"The two are brought together in our institution of 'roasting' those we love and admire: The more dominant the targets of the roast, the more mirth there is to be had at their good-humored expense."
It may lead you to think of the annual Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C.
In it, the president of the richest and most powerful country on earth is expected to publicly suffer probing jibes of wit and humor — possibly even offer some of his own — to the accompaniment of a great deal of merry laughter, that fertile signal of instructive play in which, say scientists, we learn a great deal about each other … knowledge that may be vital when, all together, we must face some future crisis.

text: Hi all, I'm not certain of something. Do we expect *all users* to perform the steps shown in the "Bash shell startup files"? I know I don't do them. I have my own way of setting up /etc/profile, et. all. And this makes the JDK instructions related to the CLASSPATH broken. I'm not a big fan of this "pathprepend" and "pathappend" stuff. In fact, I'd like to remove it in favor of something that isn't BLFS specific. I'm wondering if the "Bash Shell Startup Files" shouldn't be listed in the required dependencies? I don't recall anything in BLFS as being mandatory, yet the JDK instructions simply *assume* that folks followed the "Bash Shell" startup stuff. I'm looking for an answer, as I think we need to add JUnit to the book as it is now required by Apache Ant. And Apache Ant is now a required dependency for FOP (Ant is no longer in the FOP source tree). The Junit install dir and the .jar file need to be in the CLASSPATH and I'm not sure how to handle this. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 184.108.40.206 i686] 13:23:00 up 13 days, 11:22, 1 user, load average: 0.35, 0.22, 0.09

Add a CommentAs an adult I have to admit I truly enjoy MOST YA books and stories. They get down to the story more fully and have the fantasy and imagination that seems to disappear as as people grow and have to deal with reality more fully...
That is life--- however the book Graceling is a compelling story of young adults taking charge of the changes coming into their lives as they grow and have to face reality and are making choices and choices. It is well written and the romance is subtle . The intregue and excitement are well presented. I would recommend this book.. I did enjoy it.
I think this is the most I recommend Most often.. to Most people... so that says a lot right? If you liked the Hunger games you might also check out Graceling by Kirstin Cashore and the companion novel Fire - both gripping all night reads. In Graceling if a person is born with 2 different coloured eyes they are "graced" with a special gift or ability that becomes aparrent as they mature. When Katsa discovers that she is graced with killing she becomes a pawn used by her uncle, the king. Katsa, however, has other ideas about how she wants to live her life and a gripping suspense/romance novel ensues.
Great YF adventure, with a memorable protagonist who must learn that her special talents are what they first appear to be. Thoughtful and entertaining for both young and not-so-young audiences.
So I read Graceling by Kristin Cashore awhile ago, but it is a favorite. I like young adult books because they've got something for everyone and Graceling does not disappoint. The book follows Katsa, a young, intelligent woman with a special talent. It Katsa's world, these people are called Gracelings. They might be the greatest baker, the fastest runner,….or in Katsa's case the deadliest assassin. Because these talents or graces appear without warning Gracelings are feared and deemed outcasts. Katsa, however, also happens to be the niece of the King and so her talents are put to pretty specific purposes, while she grapples with her own nature. Cashore creates a fantasy world complete with magic, court intrigues, spies, adventure, and of course a little bit a love. I loved this book for its strong heroine, it's fast-pace, and I'm especially a sucker for a series. The second book in Cashore's trilogy is titled Fire, and third is Bitterblue.
It was a really good book, however I stopped reading it and the series, I kinda gave up on it because of the romance. Do not get me wrong, it was a great book, however I would not recommend it to those of you who are like me, and cannot stand too much romance in the story. I felt a little overwhelmed, but it was well written so I would rate this book a 4 for writing and style and 4 for interest, but for people like me, I'd rate it a 3. So all in all, my rating is 3 and a half.
as an adult reading YA, I thought this book, was quite well written. I liked the main character, Katsa, though she is a bit naive, in terms of relationships. She does mature, and grow. Po is an interesting character, Bitterblue also, and I look forward to reading her story, the next in the series.
Fantasy, adventure, a strong female hero, travel all made me want to keep reading.
I enjoyed the unique fantastical elements of the book, but didn't find the characters provided much to connect to. I am an adult reading YA fiction though, so I'm perhaps a bit more picky.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite books. What really made this book stand out to me are the strong characters, unique plot, and interesting setting.
The story is set in a fantasy world, however this world is so well developed that it seems real. It's one of those books that everyone should give a chance.
I really liked it, I have just started reading Bitterblue which is the book that comes after Graceling. The book that comes before Graceling, Fire, is supposed to be also amazing so I'm really exited!
Add Age SuitabilityView All Ages
Add a NoticeSexual Content: The protagonist has sex with her boyfriend in this novel. It's not described in great detail, but it's described enough that I'd be uncomfortable giving this book to tweens and younger teens. It's unfortunate-- it's such a great book, and appropriate for younger audiences except for two short sex scenes.
Sexual Content: Ace_E360 SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! unless Katsa and Po are married their sleeping together is wrong and should not be promoted in any book. if someone wishes to warn others on that fact they have the right to do so!
Sexual Content: Couges: News flash: Katsa and Po are very committed, and the book presents marriage as being unsuited for the temperament of the characters. Nowhere does it promote marriage in general as undesirable. Also, (and here's the real news flash) life is riddled with pre-marital sex, and marriage is unnecessary. So I don't really see what you're complaining about.
Add a SummaryKatsa is Graced in the worst way possible. Born into a world where having two different colored eyes means that you are exceptionally gifted, or Graced, Katsa has spent her life navigating the Kings court to stay alive. This is made much more difficult because the King happens to be her uncle and she is Graced in killing. After being used as an enforcer since she was young, Katsa's path becomes more complicated when she meets a foreign Prince who ignites a fire in Katsa to fight back.
Graceling takes place in a fantasy world in which certain individuals are born with a "Grace"--a special talent or ability. Gracelings are identifiable by their eyes, which are two different colors. This story centers around a Graceling named Katsa, a teenage girl Graced with the gift of killing. Once her uncle, the nefarious King Randa, discovers her Grace, he uses her as his personal assassin. As you can imagine, all this killing and lack of freedom has made Katsa a bit jaded. Katsa joins forces with another Graceling, Prince Po, and the two of them set out on a journey to discover who kidnapped Po's grandfather. On the way, Katsa discovers new things about herself and about her Grace.
Katsa has a Grace - a special talent - but of all possible ones, hers is killing. Up until now, she has been used as a thug by her uncle, the king. Yet when she meets a mysterious graceling whose fighting skill matches hers, Katsa begins to realize her true Grace.
From the inside flap:
In a world where people born with an extreme skill, called a Grace, are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of a skill even she despises: the Grace of killing. She lives under the command of her uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected to execute his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him.
When she first meets Prince Po, who is Graced with combat skill, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.
She never expects to become Po's friend.
She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace- or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away... a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.
Add a QuoteThey would assume she was a boy, because in her plain trousers and hood she looked like one, and because when people were attacked it never occurred to anyone that it might have been a girl.
She cried like a person whose heart is broken and wondered how, when two people loved each other, there could be such a broken heart.

Decorating with little but ideas
New York
Decorating on a shoestring budget is an endlessly intriguing subject to people without much cash or who are frequently on the move. Likewise, putting a home together with ingenuity, imagination, and personal style is a matter of fascination to a great many people.
One recently published book are aimed at helping these cost-minded but creatively inclined people find some innovative ideas for solving their own decorating problems is "Your Space: How to Put It Together for Practically Nothing," by Jon Naar and Mary Ellen Moore (New York: St. Martin's Press. $12.95 cloth, $6.95 paper).
These authors say they are chiefly concerned about "mobility, crowded schedules, and soaring costs." They interviewed dozens of people who designed their own places for practically nothing. Mr. Naar photographed the results of their efforts and Miss Moore describes in words what she calls "alternative approaches to decorating." She also refers to these novel do-it-yourself jobs as "anything goes," "underground," and "anti-traditional" decorating.
Mr. Naar says he photographed rooms that would never be seen in slick magazines, and he is absolutely right. The rooms he photographs have one thing in common: Each is permanently unfinished. They ever evolve and change as new additions of "found, recycled, and homemade objects" are added. The whimsical and sometimes bizarre decorating schemes they cover tend to include such titles as "art wrecko," "cheap chic," and "the flea-market factor." "Found furniture" is just that -- other people's discards and trowaways, found usually on curbsides and in trash rooms.
The authors tell people to look at things with the idea that the items could be something other than what they are. Old office and dental lab furniture, for instance, finds infinite new storage purposes in these apartments. Mr. Naar and Miss Moore advise readers not to rush into decorating, but to relax, take time, and get acclimated to new surroundings before trying to arrange things to suit themselves.

HRTs Narain Karthikeyan has been handed a five-place grid penalty by the Indian stewards for impeding Mercedes Michael Schumacher during Saturdays qualifying session for the New Delhi race.
After reviewing the evidence, the stewards decided Karthikeyan had blocked Schumacher during Q1. Despite the incident, the German managed to make it through to Q2 and eventually qualified in 12th. Karthikeyan, meanwhile, qualified in 21st.
Four other drivers - McLarens Lewis Hamilton, Saubers Sergio Perez, Renaults Vitaly Petrov and HRTs Daniel Ricciardo - also have grid penalties for Sundays race, whilst Virgins Timo Glock failed to make the 107 percent requirement and will race at the stewards' discretion.
When all the penalties are taken into consideration, the starting order should be: Vettel, Webber; Alonso, Button; Hamilton, Massa; Rosberg, Sutil; Buemi, Alguersuari; Schumacher, di Resta; Maldonado, Senna; Barrichello, Petrov; Kobayashi, Kovalainen; Trulli, Perez; D'Ambrosio, Ricciardo; Karthikeyan, Glock.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is a more consistently fun adventure than its predecessor. Why? Shorter, more varied levels, splitscreen co-op, and the ability to toggle and aim items all go a long way toward improving on the prior LEGO games. That's not to say that Traveller's Tales shed all of the slight issues that each game of its franchises possesses.
