Dictionary » S » Sarcodina SarcodinaDefinition noun A taxonomic group within Phylum Sarcomastigophora. It includes the amoebas, heliozoan, rediozoa and foraminifera, which are characterized by their ability to move by cytoplasmic flow or by pseudopods.
Sarcodina, or commonly called sarcodines, include the rhizopods and actinopods. Protozoans belonging to this group form pseudopodia during most of their life cycle. Flagella may be present but only during the early stages of their life cycle.
Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page Results from our forumHELP! - Anybody know about protozoans?... and on individual species. A good way to start is to begin searching such things as "free-living protozoa, free-living amoeba, ciliophora, sarcodina, and mastigophora" :D

arcella gibosa... I could cite many different references as to this amoeba and others which are classified as testate ameba. Yes Arcella belongs to the Phylum Sarcodina, Order Granulopodida, and Family Arcellidae and they are quite diverse and some extreamly beautiful in their species. :D http://www.pirx.com/droplet/gallery/arcella.html

Kiba is part of the Inuzuka clan which specializes in beast type of attacks and pairing up with other animals to successfully complete their missions. Kiba is a very strong character but at the same time still is a soft character who cares for his friends.
Kiba fights with his partner Akamaru the faithful dog who willingly abides by the commands Kiba sets forth for him, the 2 are a devastating duo who cause considerable amounts of damage to the enemies. When we first see them fight as 1 is when they are pit up against Naruto in the pre-fights for the chuunin exam, their strength together was enough to cause considerable damage to Naruto, but their weakness is their heightened sense of smell, which enhances all smells 1000 times that of its original smell.
Personality wise Kiba seems to be very caring for his comrades and at the same time can be a jerk, this makes Kiba become more of a variable character of the series, not so much has really been released about him thus far, though in time there will be a more in tuned and more integrated part of him in the series.

1. Scope
1.1 This guide provides procedures for using a reference material with a known emission rate of a volatile organic compound (VOC) to estimate the bias associated with a VOC emission chamber test. 1.2 This guide may be used to assess measurements of VOC emissions conducted in a variety of environmental chambers, such as small-scale chambers, large-scale chambers, emission cells, and micro-scale chambers. 1.3 This guide may be used to assess measurements of VOC emissions from a variety of sources including dry materials (for example, carpet, floor tile, and particleboard) and wet materials (for example, paint and cleaning products). 1.4 This guide can be used to support quality control efforts by emissions testing laboratories, third-party accreditation of testing laboratories participating in emissions testing programs, and quality control efforts by manufacturers of building and other materials. 1.5 This guide may be used to support the determination of precision and bias of other commonly used VOC emission standards including Guide D5116, Test Method D6007, ISO 16000-9, ANSI/BIFMA M7.1, and CDPH/EHLB/Standard Method V1.1. 1.6 Airborne concentrations of chemicals emitted from materials being tested in emission chambers, as well as from reference materials, are measured by commonly used standards including Test Method D5197, Test Method D5466, Test Method D7339, and ISO 16000-6. 1.7 This guide also describes the attributes of a suitable emission reference material and the different methods available to independently determine the reference materials VOC emission rate. 1.8 Values stated in the International System of Units (SI) are to be regarded as the standard. 1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Chamber testing is a globally accepted method for measuring the emissions of VOCs from building materials and products. Chamber emission test data have a variety of uses including identification and labeling of products as low-VOC emitting for improved indoor air quality, manufacturing quality control, and development of new and improved products for reduced VOC emissions. Currently, an interlaboratory study (ILS) is the most frequently used method for assessing the bias of a laboratorys VOC emission test results. An ILS typically relies on a VOC source with an uncharacterized emission rate. Consequently, a large number of participants (Practice E691 recommends 30, with a minimum requirement of 6) are needed to produce the data required to calculate a laboratorys performance relative to the central tendency and distribution of the results for all participants. Because of the participant size requirement and other logistical issues, an ILS involves significant planning and coordination to achieve useful results. Interlaboratory studies have often shown significant variations in measured VOC emission rates among participating laboratories for a given source. Variability in the emission rate from the source often is suspected to be a contributing factor, but it is difficult to be certain of the cause. Thus, better characterized sources are needed for evaluating the ability of laboratories to generate VOC emission test results with acceptable bias. Proficiency tests (PT) for VOC emission testing typically focus on a laboratorys analytical capabilities. For example, an analytical PT relies on a certified standard prepared by an accredited vendor as a reference. A laboratory analyzes the PT sample without knowledge of its concentration value. Acceptance of the results is judged by the deviation from the known value. Use of reference materials can expand analytical PT schemes to also include the impacts of test sample handling, test specimen preparation, chamber operation, and chamber air sampling. Laboratories accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 are required to derive uncertainty estimates for their test results. Typically, this is done by developing an uncertainty budget and estimating an expanded uncertainty (ISO/IEC Guide 98, Practice D7440). An uncertainty budget for a VOC emission test combines relevant sources of measurement uncertainty for all steps in the testing process from test specimen preparation through air sample analysis. A more efficient approach to determining the overall bias and precision for a VOC emission test is with repeated testing of a reference material (see ISO/IEC Guide 98, ISO Guide 33). This guide addresses the estimation of bias through comparison of the measured value to the reference material value. The precision is determined through repeated testing of multiple reference materials, ideally from the same production batch (see Practices D6299 and E691). Other uses of an emissions reference material include verifying quality control emission measurements of manufactured product batches and providing traceability for third-party certification.

Richard Stephens 'The curve that sets everything straight" was how comedian Phyllis Diller once described the smile. And it's true that there's something charming, trustworthy and disarming about a smile – but this can be misleading. Dig a little deeper and you will understand a much less wholesome side. Because, ladies and gentleman, the smile is one of the biggest fakes going. I know what you're thinking: we all pull a false smile now and again to appease our fellows and avoid unnecessary conflict. On the other hand, a genuine smile of true enjoyment is something different. Psychologists have named such a smile after the French neurologist Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne de Boulogne. The Duchenne smile, utilising the muscles around the eyes that lift the cheeks to produce crow's feet, has long been held as an inimitable sign of true human emotion. Or at least it was until 2013, when a team of researchers from Northeastern University, Boston, broke that hoodoo. Sarah Gunnery and her colleagues asked one group of volunteers to imitate smiles on photographs, and another group of volunteers to rate them. Some of the photographs depicted mouth-only smiles but others were Duchenne smiles, using mouth and eye muscles together. Surprisingly, a high proportion of individuals – two-thirds – could fake a Duchenne smile – and those that could do this were better able to put on false expressions in their everyday lives. This straightforward study indicates that even the sacrosanct Duchenne smile can be convincingly simulated. So much for smiling being an inimitable sign of true human emotion. So why are we so good at faking smiles? The answer isn't necessarily sinister – some research shows you can actually smile yourself into a better mood. © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited

by Helen Thomson HAVE you read this before? A 23-year-old man from the UK almost certainly feels like he has – he's the first person to report persistent déjà vu stemming from anxiety rather than any obvious neurological disorder. Nobody knows exactly how or why déjà vu happens, but for most of us it is rare. Some people experience it more often, as a side effect associated with epileptic seizures or dementia. Now, researchers have discovered the first person with what they call "psychogenic déjà vu" – where the cause appears to be psychological. The man's episodes began just after he started university, a period when he felt anxious and was also experiencing obsessive compulsions. As time went on, his déjà vu became more and more prolonged, and then fairly continuous after he tried LSD. Now, he avoids television and radio, and finds newspapers distressing as the content feels familiar. There are different theories as to what is going on, says Christine Wells at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK, who has written a paper on the man's experiences. "The general theory is that there's a misfiring of neurons in the temporal lobes – which deal with recollection and familiarity. That misfiring during the process of recollection means we interpret a moment in time as something that has already been experienced," she says. Surprisingly, when Wells gave the man a standard recall test, he scored more similarly to people of his own age without the condition than those with epilepsy-related déjà vu. An MRI and an EEG scan of his brain activity also showed no abnormalities. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By David Noonan It was the day before Christmas, and the normally busy MIT laboratory on Vassar Street in Cambridge was quiet. But creatures were definitely stirring, including a mouse that would soon be world famous. Steve Ramirez, a 24-year-old doctoral student at the time, placed the mouse in a small metal box with a black plastic floor. Instead of curiously sniffing around, though, the animal instantly froze in terror, recalling the experience of receiving a foot shock in that same box. It was a textbook fear response, and if anything, the mouse's posture was more rigid than Ramirez had expected. Its memory of the trauma must have been quite vivid. Which was amazing, because the memory was bogus: The mouse had never received an electric shock in that box. Rather, it was reacting to a false memory that Ramirez and his MIT colleague Xu Liu had planted in its brain. "Merry Freaking Christmas," read the subject line of the email Ramirez shot off to Liu, who was spending the 2012 holiday in Yosemite National Park. The observation culminated more than two years of a long-shot research effort and supported an extraordinary hypothesis: Not only was it possible to identify brain cells involved in the encoding of a single memory, but those specific cells could be manipulated to create a whole new "memory" of an event that never happened. "It's a fantastic feat," says Howard Eichenbaum, a leading memory researcher and director of the Center for Neuroscience at Boston University, where Ramirez did his undergraduate work. "It's a real breakthrough that shows the power of these techniques to address fundamental questions about how the brain works." In a neuroscience breakthrough, the duo implanted a false memory in a mouse

|By Bret Stetka When University of Bonn psychologist Monika Eckstein designed her latest published study, the goal was simple: administer a hormone into the noses of 62 men in hopes that their fear would go away. And for the most part, it did. The hormone was oxytocin, often called our "love hormone" due to its crucial role in mother-child relationships, social bonding, and intimacy (levels soar during sex). But it also seems to have a significant antianxiety effect. Give oxytocin to people with certain anxiety disorders, and activity in the amygdala—the primary fear center in human and other mammalian brains, two almond-shaped bits of brain tissue sitting deep beneath our temples—falls. The amygdala normally buzzes with activity in response to potentially threatening stimuli. When an organism repeatedly encounters a stimulus that at first seemed frightening but turns out to be benign—like, say, a balloon popping—a brain region called the prefrontal cortex inhibits amygdala activity. But in cases of repeated presentations of an actual threat, or in people with anxiety who continually perceive a stimulus as threatening, amygdala activity doesn't subside and fear memories are more easily formed. To study the effects of oxytocin on the development of these fear memories, Eckstein and her colleagues first subjected study participants to Pavlovian fear conditioning, in which neutral stimuli (photographs of faces and houses) were sometimes paired with electric shocks. Subjects were then randomly assigned to receive either a single intranasal dose of oxytocin or a placebo. Thirty minutes later they received functional MRI scans while undergoing simultaneous fear extinction therapy, a standard approach to anxiety disorders in which patients are continually exposed to an anxiety-producing stimulus until they no longer find it stressful. In this case they were again exposed to images of faces and houses, but this time minus the electric shocks. © 2014 Scientific American

by Andy Coghlan How does this make you feel? Simply asking people to think about emotion-laden actions as their brains are scanned could become one of the first evidence-based tests for psychiatric illness. Assessing people in this way would be a step towards a more scientific approach to diagnosis, away from that based on how someone behaves or how they describe their symptoms. The US National Institute of Mental Health has had such a goal in mind since 2013. Marcel Just of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and his colleagues developed the brain scanning technique and used it to identify people with autism. "This gives us a whole new perspective to understanding psychiatric illnesses and disorders," says Just. "We've discovered a biological thought-marker for autism." The technique builds on work by the group showing that specific thoughts and emotions are represented in the brain by certain patterns of neural activation. The idea is that deviations from these patterns, what Just refers to as thought-markers, can be used to diagnose different psychiatric conditions. The team asked a group of adults to imagine 16 actions, some of which required emotional involvement, such as "hugging", "persuading" or "adoring", while they lay in an fMRI scanner. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Gabe Bergado It's not news that reading has countless benefits: Poetry stimulates parts of the brain linked to memory and sparks self-reflection; kids who read the Harry Potter books tend to be better people. But what about people who only read newspapers? Or people who scan Twitter all day? Are those readers' brains different from literary junkies who peruse the pages of 19th century fictional classics? Short answer: Yes — reading enhances connectivity in the brain. But readers of fiction? They're a special breed. The study: A 2013 Emory University study looked at the brains of fiction readers. Researchers compared the brains of people after they read to the brains of people who didn't read. The brains of the readers — they read Robert Harris' Pompeii over a nine-day period at night — showed more activity in certain areas than those who didn't read. Specifically, researchers found heightened connectivity in the left temporal cortex, part of the brain typically associated with understanding language. The researchers also found increased connectivity in the central sulcus of the brain, the primary sensory region, which helps the brain visualize movement. When you visualize yourself scoring a touchdown while playing football, you can actually somewhat feel yourself in the action. A similar process happens when you envision yourself as a character in a book: You can take on the emotions they are feeling. It may sound hooey hooey, but it's true: Fiction readers make great friends as they tend to be more aware of others' emotions. Copyright © Mic Network Inc.

By Anna North What is depression? Anyone who has dealt with the condition knows what it can feel like — but what causes it, what sustains it, and what's the best way to make it subside? Despite the prevalence of the disorder — in one Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, 9.1 percent of adults met the criteria for depression — experts haven't fully answered these questions. And to fully do so, some say we need new ways of thinking about depression entirely. For Turhan Canli, a professor of integrative neuroscience at Stony Brook University, that means looking at the possibility that depression could be caused by an infection. "I've always been struck by the fact that the treatment options did not seem to have dramatically improved over the course of decades," Dr. Canli told Op-Talk. "I always had a feeling that somehow we seem to be missing the actual treatment of the disease." He was intrigued by research showing a connection between depression and inflammation in the body, and he started to think about the known causes of inflammation — among them pathogens like bacteria, viruses and parasites. In a paper published in the journal Biology of Mood and Anxiety Disorders, he lays out his case for rethinking depression as a response to infection. He notes that the symptoms of depression are similar to those of infection: "Patients experience loss of energy; they commonly have difficulty getting out of bed and lose interest in the world around them. Although our Western conceptualization puts affective symptoms front-and-center, non-Western patients who meet DSM criteria for major depression report primarily somatic symptoms." © 2014 The New York Times Company

by Bethany Brookshire We all experience stress, but some handle it better than others. A lot of research has focused on what makes animals and people susceptible to stress and how that, in turn, can trigger depression. It makes sense to study the condition, not the people that don't experience it. Depression and susceptibility are the broken state. Resilience seems normal by comparison. But resilience is not just the absence of susceptibility. It turns out that a protein called beta-catenin plays an active role in resilience. A new study, from Eric Nestler's laboratory at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, also identifies a large number of new targets that could help scientists understand why some people are susceptible to stress — and how they might be made more resilient. "When people study stress responses, we often just assume that in an animal that's stressed, there's an active process that creates these depression-like behaviors," says Andre Der-Avakian, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego. "But this study and studies from others have shown that resilience is also an active process." The nucleus accumbens is an area of the brain most often linked with reward and pleasure from items we enjoy, such as food or drugs. But the area also shows changes in people with depression. "It makes sense — here's a region important in responding to rewards," Nestler explains. "One of the symptoms of people with depression is that they don't derive pleasure from things in life." © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2014

|By Piercarlo Valdesolo Google "successful Thanksgiving" and you will get a lot of different recommendations. Most you've probably heard before: plan ahead, get help, follow certain recipes. But according to new research from Florida State University, enjoying your holiday also requires a key ingredient that few guests consider as they wait to dive face first into the turkey: a belief in free will. What does free will have to do with whether or not Aunt Sally leaves the table in a huff? These researchers argue that belief in free will is essential to experiencing the emotional state that makes Thanksgiving actually about giving thanks: gratitude. Previous research has shown that our level of gratitude for an act depends on three things: 1) the cost to the benefactor (in time, effort or money), 2) the value of the act to the beneficiary, and 3) the sincerity of the benefactor's intentions. For example, last week my 4-year-old daughter gave me a drawing of our family. This act was costly (she spent time and effort), valuable (I love the way she draws herself bigger than everyone else in the family), and sincere (she drew it because she knew I would like it). But what if I thought that she drew it for a different reason? What if I thought that she was being coerced by my wife? Or if I thought that this was just an assignment at her pre-school? In other words, what if I thought she had no choice but to draw it? I wouldn't have defiantly thrown it back in her face, but I surely would have felt differently about the sincerity of the action. It would have diminished my gratitude. © 2014 Scientific American

By Gary Stix One area of brain science that has drawn intense interest in recent years is the study of what psychologists call reconsolidation—a ponderous technical term that, once translated, means giving yourself a second chance. Memories of our daily experience are formed, often during sleep, by inscribing—or "consolidating"—a record of what happened into neural tissue. Joy at the birth of a child or terror in response to a violent personal assault. A bad memory, once fixed, may replay again and again, turning toxic and all-consuming. For the traumatized, the desire to forget becomes an impossible dream. Reconsolidation allows for a do-over by drawing attention to the emotional and factual content of traumatic experience. In the safety of a therapist's office, the patient lets demons return and then the goal is to reshape karma to form a new more benign memory. The details remain the same, but the power of the old terror to overwhelm and induce psychic paralysis begins to subside. The clinician would say that the memory has undergone a change in "valence"—from negative to neutral and detached. The trick to undertaking successful reconsolidation requires revival of these memories without provoking panic and chaos that can only makes things worse. Talk therapies and psycho-pharm may not be enough. One new idea just starting to be explored is the toning down of memories while a patient is fast asleep © 2014 Scientific American,

By Chelsea Rice On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six personnel at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before turning the gun on himself. Ever since, America has been wondering: Why? Today, after investigating and detailing every available record of the 20-year-old Lanza's life since birth, the Connecticut Office of the Child Advocate released a report that said: We still don't know what drove him to commit those terrible acts. But we do know he fell through the cracks of the school system, the health care system, and possibly the awareness of his own parents. Every documented moment of Lanza's life was evaluated, from mental health records that tracked his social development to school and medical records that outlined his needs—and showed disparities in the services provided to him by the state. The review did not, however, stop at Lanza. It included a review of the laws regarding special education and the confidentiality of personal records in the system, as well as "how these laws implicate professional obligations and practices." Unredacted state police and law enforcement records were also reviewed alongside interviews and extensive research with members of the Child Fatality Review Panel who led the initial investigation of that day. From "earliest childhood," according to the report, Lanza had "significant developmental challenges," such as communication and sensory problems, delays in socialization, and repetitive behaviors. Lanza was seen and evaluated by the New Hampshire "Birth to Three" early intervention program when he was almost 3 years old, and referred to special education preschool services.

By Kate Baggaley WASHINGTON — Being stroked in the right place at the right speed activates specialized nerve fibers. The caresses that people rate most pleasant line up with the probable locations of the fibers on the skin, new research suggests. "Touch is important in terms of our physical health and our psychological well-being," said Susannah Walker, who presented the research November 17 at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. "But very little attention has been paid to the neurological basis of that effect." Sensors in the skin known as C-tactile afferents respond strongly to being stroked at between three and 10 centimeters per second. The sensors send signals to the brain that make touch rewarding, says Walker, a neuroscientist at Liverpool John Moores University in England. Walker and a colleague played videos for 93 participants, showing a hand caressing a person's palm, back, shoulder or forearm, either at 5 cm/s or 30 cm/s. Participants rated the 5 cm/s stroking — the best speed to get the skin's sensors firing — as the most pleasant, except on the palm, where there are no stroking sensors. The back got the highest pleasantness ratings, forearms lowest. The spots where people like to be touched may not line up with the areas traditionally considered most sensitive. Though less finely attuned to texture or temperature than the hands or face, the back and shoulders are sensitive to a different, social sort of touch. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2014.

By Tanya Lewis WASHINGTON — From the stroke of a mother's hand to the embrace of a lover, sensations of gentle touch activate a specialized set of nerves in humans. The brain is widely believed to contain a "map" of the body for sensing touch. But humans may also have an emotional body map that corresponds to feelings of gentle touch, according to new research presented here Sunday (Nov. 16) at the 44th annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. For humans and all social species, touch plays a fundamental role in the formation and maintenance of social bonds, study researcher Susannah Walker, a behavioral neuroscientist at Liverpool John Moores University in the United KIngdom, said in a news conference. [Top 10 Things That Make Humans Special] "Indeed, a lack of touch can have a detrimental effect on both our physical health and our psychological well-being," Walker said. In a clinical setting, physical contact with premature infants has been shown to boost growth, decrease stress and aid brain development. But not much research has focused on the basis of these effects in the nervous system, Walker said. The human body has a number of different kinds of nerves for perceiving touch. Thicker nerves surrounded by a fatty layer of insulation (called myelin) identify touch and temperature and rapidly send those signals to the brain, whereas thinner nerves that lack this insulation send sensory information more slowly.

By Bethany Brookshire WASHINGTON – Moldy houses are hard on the lungs, and new results in mice suggest that they could also be bad for the brain. Inhaling mold spores made mice anxious and forgetful, researchers reported November 15 at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. Cheryl Harding, a psychologist at the City University of New York, and colleagues dripped low doses of spores from the toxic mold Stachybotrys into mouse noses three times per week. After three weeks, the mice didn't look sick. But they had trouble remembering a fearful place. The mice were also more anxious than normal counterparts. The anxiety and memory deficits went along with decreases in new brain cells in the hippocampus — a part of the brain that plays a role in memory — compared with control mice. Harding and colleagues also found that the behaviors linked to increased inflammatory proteins in the hippocampus. Exposure to mold's toxins and structural proteins may trigger an immune response in the brain. The findings, Harding says, may help explain some of the conditions that people living in moldy buildings complain about, such as anxiety and cognitive problems. C. Harding et al.

By John Bohannon If you had the choice between hurting yourself or someone else in exchange for money, how altruistic do you think you'd be? In one infamous experiment, people were quite willing to deliver painful shocks to anonymous victims when asked by a scientist. But a new study that forced people into the dilemma of choosing between pain and profit finds that participants cared more about other people's well-being than their own. It is hailed as the first hard evidence of altruism for the young field of behavioral economics. Human behavior toward others is hard to predict. On the one hand, we stand out in the animal world for our altruism, often making significant sacrifices to help out a stranger in need. And all but the most antisocial people experience psychological distress at witnessing, let alone causing, pain in others. Yet study after study in the field of behavioral economics has demonstrated that we tend to value our own needs and desires above those of others. For example, researchers have found that just thinking about money makes people behave more selfishly. To try to reconcile the angels and devils of our nature, a team led by Molly Crockett, a psychologist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, combined the classic psychological and economics tools for probing altruism: pain and money. Everyone has their own pain threshold, so the first task was a pain calibration. Researchers administered electric shocks with electrodes attached to the wrists of 160 subjects, starting at an almost imperceptible level and amping up until the subject described the pain as intolerable. (For most people, that threshold for pain is similar to holding your wrist under a stream of 50°C water.) © 2014 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By Greg Miller This robot causes people to experience the illusory sensation of someone standing behind them. © Alain Herzog/EPFL People who've stared death in the face and lived to tell about it—mountain climbers who've made a harrowing descent, say, or survivors of the World Trade Center attacks—sometimes report that just when their situation seemed impossible, a ghostly presence appeared. People with schizophrenia and certain types of neurological damage sometimes report similar experiences, which scientists call, aptly, "feeling of presence." Now a team of neuroscientists says it has identified a set of brain regions that seems to be involved in generating this illusion. Better yet, they've built a robot that can cause ordinary people to experience it in the lab. The team was led by Olaf Blanke, a neurologist and neuroscientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Blanke has a long-standing interest in creepy illusions of bodily perception. Studying these bizarre phenomena, he says, could point to clues about the biology of mental illness and the mechanisms of human consciousness. In 2006, for example, Blanke and colleagues published a paper in Nature that had one of the best titles you'll ever see in a scientific journal: "Induction of an illusory shadow person." In that study, they stimulated the brain of a young woman who was awaiting brain surgery for severe epilepsy. Surgeons had implanted electrodes on the surface of her brain to monitor her seizures, and when the researchers passed a mild current through the electrodes, stimulating a small region at the intersection of the temporal and parietal lobes of her brain, she experienced what she described as a shadowy presence lurking nearby, mimicking her own posture. Colored areas indicate regions of overlap in the lesions of neurological patients who experienced feeling of presence illusions. © 2014 Condé Nast.

by Helen Thomson Scared of the dark? Terrified of heights? Spiders make you scream? For the first time, a person's lifelong phobia has been completely abolished overnight. Unfortunately, it required removing a tiny bit of the man's brain, so for now, most people will have to find another way to dispel their fears. The phobia was abolished by accident. A 44-year-old business man started having seizures out of the blue. Brain scans showed he had an abnormality in his left amygdala – an area in the temporal lobe involved in emotional reactions, among other things. Further tests showed the cause was sarcoidosis, a rare condition that causes damage to the lungs, skin and, occasionally, the brain. Doctors decided it was necessary to remove the man's damaged left amygdala. The surgery went well, but soon after the man noticed a strange turn of events. Not only did he have a peculiar "stomach-lurching" aversion to music – which was particularly noticeable when he heard the song accompanying a certain TV advert – but he also discovered he was no longer afraid of spiders. While his aversion to music waned over time, his arachnophobia never returned. Before the surgery he would throw tennis balls at spiders, or use hairspray to immobilise them before vacuuming them up. Now he is able to touch and observe the little critters at close distance and says he actually finds them fascinating. He hasn't noticed any changes to other kinds of fears or anxieties. For example, he is equally as anxious about public speaking now as he was prior to surgery. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

by Dan Jones The way your brain reacts to a single disgusting image can be used to predict whether you lean to the left or the right politically. A number of studies have probed the emotions of people along the political spectrum, and found that disgust in particular is tightly linked to political orientation. People who are highly sensitive to disgusting images – of bodily waste, gore or animal remains – are more likely to sit on the political right and show concern for what they see as bodily and spiritual purity, so tend to oppose abortion and gay marriage, for example. A team led by Read Montague, a neuroscientist at Virginia Tech in Roanoke, recruited 83 volunteers and performed fMRI brain scans on them as they looked at a series of 80 images that were either pleasant, disgusting, threatening or neutral. Participants then rated the images for their emotional impact and completed a series of questionnaires that assessed whether they were liberal, moderate or conservative. The brain-imaging results were then fed to a learning algorithm which compared the whole-brain responses of liberals and conservatives when looking at disgusting images versus neutral ones. For both political groups, the algorithm was able to pick out distinct patterns of brain activity triggered by the disgusting images. And even though liberals and conservatives consciously reported similar emotional reactions to the images, the specific brain regions involved and their patterns of activation differed consistently between the two groups – so much so that they represented a neural signature of political leaning, the team concludes. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd

By Jenna Bilbrey Your starbase is almost complete. All you need is a few more tons of ore. You could take the afternoon to mine it from an asteroid field, but you've heard of a Ska'ari who trades ore for cheap. So you message your alliance, use your connections to set up a meeting, and hop in your spacecraft. It's good to have friends, even if they are virtual. An online science fiction game may not seem like the ideal place to study human behavior, but physicist Stefan Thurner has shown that the way people act in the virtual world isn't so different from how they act in the real one. Thurner studies all sorts of complex systems at the Medical University of Vienna, so when one of his doctoral students just happened to create one of the most popular free browser-based games in Europe, Thurner suggested using the game, called Pardus, to study the spontaneous organization of people in a closed society. For almost three-and-a-half years, they monitored the interactions of roughly 7000 active players at one time within the game's virtual world. Unlike in real life, Pardus players' moves are tracked and their interactions are recorded automatically by the game. "We have information about everything," Thurner says. "We know who is where at what point in time, … who exchanges things or money with whom, who is friends with whom, … who hates someone else, who collaborates with whom in entrepreneurial activities, who is in a criminal gang with whom, etc. Even though the society is artificial, it's a human society." © 2014 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By Melissa Hogenboom Science reporter, BBC News A genetic analysis of almost 900 offenders in Finland has revealed two genes associated with violent crime. Those with the genes were 13 times more likely to have a history of repeated violent behaviour. The authors of the study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, said at least 4-10% of all violent crime in Finland could be attributed to individuals with these genotypes. But they stressed the genes could not be used to screen criminals. Many more genes may be involved in violent behaviour and environmental factors are also known to have a fundamental role. Even if an individual has a "high-risk combination" of these genes the majority will never commit a crime, the lead author of the work Jari Tiihonen of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden said. "Committing a severe, violent crime is extremely rare in the general population. So even though the relative risk would be increased, the absolute risk is very low," he told the BBC. The study, which involved analysis of almost 900 criminals, is the first to have looked at the genetic make-up of so many violent criminals in this way. Warrior gene Each criminal was given a profile based on their offences, categorising them into violent or non-violent. The association between genes and previous behaviour was strongest for the 78 who fitted the "extremely violent offender" profile. This group had committed a total of 1,154 murders, manslaughters, attempted homicides or batteries. A replication group of 114 criminals had all committed at least one murder. BBC © 2014

NFL: Familiar faces in new places
After 14 years, four MVPs and a Super Bowl title in Indianapolis, Peyton Manning hopes to lead the Broncos to the promise land in 2012.
Tim Tebow worked miracles last season for the Broncos. Now he enters 2012 with the Jets as Mark Sanchez's backup -- for now.
Mario Williams was a beast in Houston. The Bills paid him big money to do the same in Buffalo.
Randy Moss didn't play a down last season. Now he joins the 49ers, who are in need of help at wide receiver.
The Dolphins traded receiver Brandon Marshall to the Bears, where he'll be reunited with Jay Cutler. The two flourished before as teammates in Denver.
The big contract Vincent Jackson wanted from the Chargers but could never get, he received this year from the Buccaneers. Now he'll be counted on to produce.
Chad Ochocinco hopes to revive his career with the Dolphins after an awful one-year stint in New England.
After taking a year off, Jeff Fisher will find himself back on the sidelines with the Rams, who will rely on the veteran coach to turn the team around.
Brandon Jacobs helped the Giants win a Super Bowl last year. How much will he contribute in a crowded 49ers backfield?
Matt Flynn parlayed two career starts as Packers quarterback into a lucrative contract with the Seahawks.
The Eagles upgraded their defense immensely when they landed linebacker DeMeco Ryans in a trade with the Texans.
Peyton Hillis dealt with turmoil last season in Cleveland and is hoping to get back to his 2010 form with the Chiefs.
Dallas Clark failed to do anything last year in Indianapolis without Peyton Manning. Now the new Buccaneers tight end is hoping things change
The man who made the catch of the year for the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, Mario Manningham is now in San Francisco, where he hopes to help the 49ers reach the promise land.
The Rams landed one of the top defensive free agents when they signed former Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan.

At the moment I can see two versions of the 8.0.4-add_xdemos patch [ you would want the latest ] and also the llvm-3.1-fixes patch, at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/MesaLib/ The "direct" links from the book break when the book gets updated to a newer version, but the patches should remain in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/ If you are using an nvidia video card which is supported by nouveau, the current book is probably better. Arguably, the current book is better for ati too [ I'm using 6.14.6 which is now in the book and needs a newer libdrm than was appropriate for Mesa-8 with nouveau ] and probably for intel (I haven't used newer than 2.20.3 but I see the book is now at 2.20.12) - that too will need a newer libdrm than what was in the book for Mesa-8. For xorg itself, I don't think anything beyond Mesa has changed recently, so on balance I think you should upgrade to the current BLFS book for your remaining packages. If you haven't finished building xorg, you won't have built gtk+-{2,3} let alone any of the gnome packages, so I guess you will be fine to carry on with the newer versions. But for the future, patches should always be available in the patches project. The *right* thing to do is whatever works for you: sometimes we update patches to fix problems, other times we move packages to newer versions - sometimes (e.g. gnome) you need to update a lot of packages to the newer versions rather than just changing one or two, ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

Probably the second stupidest "Superhero (and I use that term lightly)" after Batman. The guys suit wasnt even made of Iron.
They should call Batman a vigilante criminal who wears a bullet proof vest. Batman is the most retarded "superhero" ever. Not super at all.
Even for you Cutt, this is a pretty horrible set of opinions. It's like you have this radar for terribleness.
You really have a piss poor attitude about a lot of things. Whatever happened to you when you were a kid...it's not your fault.
does anybody else think that Will Hunting went on to be recruited into a super secret military project called Treadstone?
How is Ironman any kind of "super" or Batman for that matter. Basically rich guys in fancy suits, big deal.
Batman is a superhero not because of his body but because of his brain. He is a detective that uses his money to do stuff and have fantastic toys but its his brain that gets the job done
By your logic though someone with powers is not a super hero but a vigilante with "insert super power here".
they are all vigilantes in the strictest sense of the word, the difference to that being acceptable to you is that they can turn invisible or shoot lasers out of the bellybutton? Without the brain all the superpowers in the world are useless. A quote from the movie you say is horrible really sums it up Tony Stark but this in a cave using scraps Well Im sorry, I'm not Tony Stark
so even the stupidest superhero like "Arm Fall Off Boy" is a superhero more so than Batman because he has a physical power that you can see? well, nobodys saying you arent entitled to your opinion
Being crazy smart to invent all those toys seems like it would fill the role of the "superpower" that you feel is missing. What other ones do you dismiss? Green lantern b/c hes just a guy with a ring? Capt. America doesn't have any either (unless they changed something and I didn't see it).
Lots of people invent shit, they arent super heros. Green Lantern (who is a stupid super hero but thats another topic) got his super powers from the ring, he has a super power. Batman has a bullet proof ballet outfit.
Yeah, a serum but it didn't give him any powers. It turned the weak little kid into a fighting powerhouse, but he has no particular ability that wouldn't be attainable through training.
But he doesn't. If he doesn't HAVE the ring, he has no power. The ring has the powers, not him. So he has a gadget that lets him do things.. Just like the other two
Pretty sure Batman beat Superman in the comics. Pretty sure I'd consider him a superhero simply by having done so.
Well, actually.... The super soldier serum gave Capt strength, agility and reflexes that are beyond what a normal human can obtain with training.
If they could combine they might be super heros, like melding into one. But they cant, so they still arent super.
why? Superman isn't immortal, all that needs to happen to win against him is to out think him and know his weaknesses. which is exactly what Batman did.. because he has BRAIN!

Usually you can back up music from iPod to a new computer/iTunes with "Transfer purchases". That requires your apple id.
In your situation, you can try some third party tools for music transference. I recommend iTransfer. It's a Windows based tool for file transference, a tool that helps you transfer music files from iPad to computer hard disk or iTunes without logging in (need assistance from iTunes).
The iTransfer tool is not free but you can get its free trial version.

Considering these mats, my question it this.
Does everyone use the floor hooks for these mats? I would think that the holes in the mats for the hooks would defeat the purpose since they have holes in them and water, sand, etc. would seep through the holes onto the carpet.

Series of problems kept Entergy from being able to finish placing new lines.
The wire they put up after yesterday's outage burned. So today, a larger wire was installed.
Then, that one broke the pole. Crews also hit a gas line while trying to put an anchor in the ground.
Barring any more problems, power should be restored soon.

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I have a few I dont think it would be fair to pick a favorite becuase I like them all for different reasons.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I would say I have the biggest laugh with Taipu1 and The Tolerable Automation. Dual Matrix has been a very close friend to me on this site. The Renegade Emperor is one of my oldest friends on the here and he's awesome. The there is the Gata bros that showed me the ropes of BZP. Then you have GSR who has helped me a lot with my writing and is just a crackng guy in general and I cant owe him enough for that. The of course there is you(Kranan), Chro, Jaller and Takua who are all awesome people and I would most definitely call my friends. Although Ive only just started speaking to him, Zeene is a very nice guy also. Then not to mention all the other laughs, jokes and good times Ive had with other BZP members.[/font]

it's hard to say, but I would think that Warp43 was my best friend. I met him off of BZPower, on a minecraft server, and that's where I discovered that he liked bionicle. so I got him to join BZPower and here he is. and Internet Connection. the guy always helps me so much, BZPower and off of it.

[font="'comic sans ms', cursive;"][color=rgb(0,128,0);]But there's plenty of other awesome dudes and dudettes (did I spell that right?) on BZP. I don't wanna call anyone my "best friend"; never been my style. Just to mention a few others, Mak's pretty high up there on the awesome list, B6, man, what's not awesome about this guy anyways? Bonesiii's a beast, too. As for a normal member, Soran's a great guy. There's plenty of other awesome people on this site, and although I may not be in close contact with them, they're still worth mentioning. Too bad I can't mention everyone, that would make a very long post (Sorry if I didn't mention you, you're still awesome!).[/color][/font]

The full extent of Hapori Tohu's sheer power cannot be focused in one single mortal. Therefore, upon needing an Earthly vessel to unite all fans of the series called 'Bionicle', he spread his essence over three humans, known to us only as Dimensioneer, Binkmeister and Black Six.Occasionally, he requires other human beings to spread his word: those mortals are known as the Reporters. Their announcement of his will on the frontpage opens up an interdimensional portal, allowing his true voice to reach the Talkback-threads, and impress all of us mere humans with his sheer power and glory.I thought you were the same. you mean to tell me that you are two different people?Hapori Tohu and I are best buds.

Well, in terms of years of interact with, I am kind of inclined to say Kanohi Dragon, if only because she and I been friends since I join this site. Although then again, I can't really say I talk to her regularly now since real life has taken her mostly way from this site. So yeah, I don't know really. I guess I'll settle with that as my answer.

A piece of real or faux coral with a striking silhouette can become a versatile accessory. While the natural colors are gorgeous, painting a piece to coordinate with the room is a great option. Gold and silver are our favorites for adding drama; basic white can tone down a glamorous scheme.
A larger piece of coral can really hold its own on a case piece. If you want coral that stands proudly, search for a piece with a flat bottom. An acrylic base, a little super-strong glue and you're good to go!
Depending on its proximity to waves and the shore, coral can take on all kinds of fascinating shapes. Branched coral like this usually grows in calmer, deeper waters. Placed on a mirror, it becomes a reflective focal point.
A single piece of coral makes a simple, crisp topper for a stack of books.
Red coral, seen in this bookcase, is perhaps the most valuable type. Besides looking pretty, it is said to relieve melancholy and excessive worry. Put a piece beside your bed for sweet dreams.
A coral chandelier makes a beautiful, out-of-the-ordinary focal point in any room.
Faux coral is easy to find and makes a great alternative to the real thing for accessorizing.
For a room that could use a touch of sea life, consider a coral lamp like this one.
These unique wall shelves would be perfect lining a hallway or as a spin on a piece of art over a sofa.

Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), would standardize federal spending data and make the information easily accessible to the public. It passed the House on Nov. 18 by a vote of 388-1.
Legislation aimed at standardizing federal spending data and making the information easily accessible to the public passed the House on Nov. 18 by a vote of 388-1.
The bipartisan bill, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and backed by ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings of Maryland, would require that all federal spending be recorded on the USAspending.gov website, with detailed information on agency, sub-agency, account and program. The spending data would be in a standardized computer language and machine readable so it could be exported in bulk for analysis.
The bill would move oversight of USASpending.gov from the Office of Management and Budget to the Treasury – a shift also called for in President Barack Obama's fiscal 2014 budget.
The House measure, known as the DATA Act (for Digital Accountability and Transparency Act) also would give agency inspectors general and the comptroller general some oversight authority for the quality and accuracy of the spending data. A companion Senate bill, which has won committee approval, does not contain that oversight language. The absence of the oversight provision gives the Senate bill a lower projected cost as measured by the Congressional Budget Office. But supporters are concerned that, without such oversight, the measure would be less effective.
"We are hopeful that the Senate will answer this call from the House of Representatives to reap the rewards from greater accountability and tech-sector innovation that real spending transparency can provide," said Hudson Hollister, executive director of the Data Transparency Coalition and an author of the legislation as a former House staffer.
The Professional Services Council, which generally supports the bill, is seeking changes to a pilot program included in the bill. That pilot is to be administered by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and is designed to include data contributions from federal award recipients. PSC President and CEO Stan Soloway said that his organization, which represents government contractors, has "serious concerns about the undefined, open-ended nature" of the pilot program. Soloway is concerned that the pilot program could lead to the release of proprietary company information, and recommended limiting data requests to information already reported to government.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), sponsor of the Senate bill, cheered passage of the House version. "Transparency is critical to our democracy -- especially for a federal government that spends more than $3.7 trillion each year," Warner said. "And in this tough economic climate, we should be doing all we can to ensure that taxpayers and policymakers can follow the money to hold our government more accountable."

GAMING NEWSOcarina of Time 3DS Includes Master QuestPosted on Monday, March 7 @ 15:52:04 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
There were probably like 25 playable 3DS units on the GDC show floor last week. Nick and I descended upon Nintendo's booth on Thursday and while our eyes are readjusting to the real world before we write hands-on previews of a ton of launch games, there's still some news we didn't get out of Nintendo that others did.One unexpected source of such news is Conservative New Media. While they're not covering labor issues in the midwest, the outlet is at the GDC speak with Nintendo about the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. Take away... nameless... right-leaning... camera... operator! So there you have it. The definitive version of Ocarina of Time will include the Master Quest and be available on the 3DS later this year. While many of you will probably wait to buy a 3DS until it comes out all Zelda-themed, you should know the game looks f***ing gorgeous in 3D and 2D on the handheld.

Read in-depth bios of all seven Irish Heisman winners including how they got to Notre Dame, their winning seasons, and what they did after winning college football's most coveted award.
Angelo Bertelli – 1943
Angelo Bertelli was from "central casting," a classic notre Dame story. Bertelli was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts to Italian immigrant parents. He matriculated at Springfield's Cathedral High and was All State in football, baseball and hockey, while finding time to be the Senior class president… Read our full Angelo Bertelli Bio.
Johnny Lujack – 1947
John Lujack was born and raised in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh. Lujack was a four sport athlete at Connellsville, and was an RKG, graduating as both the Valedictorian and Senior Class President of Connellsville '42.

Leon Hart – 1949
Hart was born in Pittsburgh, and was recruited to Notre Dame from Turtle Creek, PA, just Southeast of Pittsburgh. Hart's recruiting had some drama. Leahy had assigned the wonderful Moose Krause to recruit Hart and he had been on him like basmati on rice. Hart had not yet visited Notre Dame. Read our full Leon Hart Bio.
John Lattner – 1953
While Leahy was running and prospering with the T-formation at Notre Dame, Lattner was running the single wing at Fenwick and was intrigued about playing for the Maize and Blue and running the single wing with which he was familiar. Read our full John Lattner Bio.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3G on OS 3.1.2, 3.1.3 Using RedSn0w (Windows)
Posted February 1, 2010 at 3:39pm by here | 567801 views
| Please help us and submit a translation by clicking These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G on the 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 iPhone firmware using RedSn0w for Windows. If you are already on firmware 3.1.2, do NOT update to firmware 3.1.3. The Mac version of this tutorial is here. If you have an iPhone 3G click here, if you have and iPhone 3GS click here
This tutorial can be used to jailbreak before applying the BlackSn0w unlock to your device.
Watch the Video!
For your convenience this tutorial is available in video format also. Click the Watch It button to view the tutorial!
For your convenience this tutorial is available in video format also. Click the Watch It button to view the tutorial!
*Note: this video uses an older version of RedSn0w but is still applicable
Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage
Download RedSn0w from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 3.1.2 firmware from below and place it in the same folder.
3.1.2 (3G): iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw
Extract the RedSn0w application from the RedSn0w zip file to the Pwnage folder.
Step Two
***If you are running iPhone OS 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 you may skip this step***
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.
Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.
Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.
Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware you may launch redsn0w.exe from the Pwnage folder on your desktop.
Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button
Step Five
Even if you are on firmware 3.1.3, still select firmware 3.1.2. Redsn0w works the same way on firmware 3.1.2 or firmware 3.1.3. If you select firmware 3.1.3, you will get an error, as Redsn0w does not recognize the 3.1.3 file yet.
Select the firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open
Step Six
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.
Step Seven
From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like. If you have already pwned your device check the Already pwned option.
Verbose boot displays detailed information on boot of your device and is generally only needed by developers and advanced users.
Make sure Cydia is selected. For this tutorial we will also select Custom boot logo and Custom recovery logo.
When you click to select each custom logo option a dialog window will appear asking you to select the image. Locate the image you would like to use then press the Open button.
*Remember the rules for boot logos are: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension below 320x480. If you would like to use the iClarified ones they can be found here: Boot Logo, Recovery Logo
Click the Next button to continue
Step Eight
Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button
Step Nine
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.
Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.
Step Ten
Your iPhone will now reboot
Step Eleven
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.
Step Twelve
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. After your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so), it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.
*As usual a big thanks to the iPhone Dev-Team for their contribution to the community!
