Manny Mashouf earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1966 and founded the company "bebe" 10 years later. What began as a small boutique on Polk Street in San Francisco has grown into a successful chain of stores featuring its own brand of women's clothing and accessories. Mashouf and his wife Neda are actively involved in SFSU alumni activities and continue to support the University's strategic planning goals.
Paul Ash Paul Ash graduated in 1984 with a degree in business administration. Executive Director of the San Francisco Food Bank for the last 16 years, Ash last year helped bring the equivalent of 50,000 meals to hungry San Franciscans each day throughout the year. During Ash's time at SFSU, he would meet his future wife, then-classmate Sylvia Fernandez in his Operations Analysis class.
Glen Charles Glen Charles, television legend and eight-time Emmy Award winning co-creator of "Cheers," earned his master's degree in English in the late 1960s. Charles also worked behind the scenes of such classic television shows including "Taxi," "The Bob Newhart Show," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "M*A*S*H."
Malou Nubla, graduated in 1991 with a degree in radio and television. The two-time Emmy award winner is also the co-host of CBS 5's "Evening Magazine." Nubla recalls how the SFSU student body was truly civic-minded and engaged, and was inspired to get more involved in campus life. Nubla would later serve as president of the Filipino student organization on campus, and credits her broadcast classes and former professors with helping her build a successful career as a journalist.
Republican Congressman Bill Thomas earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in social science in the 1960s.Thomas said that his job is to take people's needs and wants and put them together "like little broken pieces of tiles." "Without having come here and being able to see the diversity [at SFSU]," says Thomas, he feels he would have most likely missed out on a valuable lesson. "It's an understanding that probably could not have been perfected had I remained in Orange County," he said, "because when you collect a bunch of pieces of broken white tile, the mosaic is not quite as colorful as the one I learned to build here."

Andrew Bynum has the hiccups
His on-court contributions undeniable, but that's not where the story ends
LOS ANGELES -- For a good 15 minutes before a recent game, Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum left himself exposed. His cellphone, a black iPhone 4GS, was left unattended on the chair in front of his locker during the 45-minute period when the locker room is open to all sorts of people.
Any number of bad things could've happened. But Bynum's head was elsewhere. On the game, on his game, on the opponent, on whatever it is that seems to be eating at him these days. "You're pretty trusting," I said, gesturing to his iPhone. Bynum shrugged and walked off without putting the iPhone safely away in his locker. "Nobody's going to take it," he said, dismissing the suggestion. Nearby a veteran Lakers staffer shook his head. Yet another helpful voice or suggestion Bynum wasn't in the mood to hear. These should be the best of days for Bynum. He made his first All-Star team and has only gotten better since the break. He made his first game-winning basket in a win over the Boston Celtics a few weeks ago and has only gotten more confident late in games. My colleague J.A. Adande even suggested that Bynum might be passing Dwight Howard in the discussion about the best center in the NBA."He's just a young player that's growing," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "He's trying to find his way on the floor and off the floor. He's definitely on his way to superstardom. He's got a chance to be a superstar in this league.
"I think it can be a difficult task. There's a lot of individuals that have had it at a young age. I don't know Andrew's history, I don't know if he was an AAU kid that was on the front of Sports Illustrated in 7th or 8th grade, and had to deal with that stuff his whole life. This might be the first time he's really getting a taste of it." Forget for a moment that it's kind of surprising Brown has so little knowledge of Bynum's background -- he's exactly right. This is Bynum's first taste of real success. He didn't go to college and was never a star in high school. In fact, he played only 33 games in high school and never led his team in scoring."Then for the next six years after the Lakers drafted him 10th overall in 2005, he was a project. A young player to be molded by his elders. A prospect to be brought along slowly and carefully so as not to damage him or stunt his growth. So it's not all that surprising that this year, when he's had a taste of the success that's been waiting for him for so long, he's taking a while to learn how to harness the swagger that's been propelling him to these new heights. "To be in the zone, as they call it, it has a lot to do with anger and a lot to do with focus," Bynum said in an introspective moment. "You have to find the midpoint. You have to use anger to motivate yourself, but you don't want to let it go so far that you get kicked out. I let that happen a few times, but it's just part of the maturing process." The thing is, I'm not sure it's success that's causing this sudden, strange change in character. Bynum was always a good kid. Smart and savvy and sensitive. That doesn't just change because he made an All-Star team. That kid is still in there somewhere. No, something else is going on. His behavior is too different. Too much of a departure from how he's always been. This is more than a teenage rebellion. To understand it I called a number of people around the league to get outside perspectives. The feedback was resoundingly similar: This is a full-fledged organizational challenge. Wittingly or not, Andrew Bynum is testing the Lakers. Testing their boundaries. Seeing what the organization will let him get away with and what it will push back on. Feeling just how deep his power over the franchise is. "That's what players do," one league source told me. "They want to see how highly the organization values them." His timing is somewhat perfect. The Lakers have already said they will pick up the $16.1 million option on his contract next season, but then what? Will they offer him a maximum contract extension? Will they install him as the new face of the franchise? None of this is to suggest that Bynum's contract situation is on his mind. I actually think it's far from his thoughts. At least knowing him the way I thought I used to. But whether it's intentional or not, the timing of his youthful rebellion has left the organization with an important set of decisions to make. Based only on his play on the court, it would be virtually automatic for the Lakers to lock Bynum up as soon as possible. But all this other stuff, all the disrespectful behavior, all the growing pains, all that complicates things. "He's smart enough and intelligent enough to learn from his mistakes," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "But I don't think you learn anything all at one time. I think it's a process and maybe it's going to be a process for a year or so, but like I said, all the tools are there." I tend to be of a similar mind as Kupchak. The tools are all there. Bynum is too smart to continue down this path for long. And from talking to his teammates, he's not nearly as closed off to accepting their advice as he is from authority figures. He's grown close with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol this year and was always surprisingly close with former team captain Derek Fisher. "Put it this way," Brown said, when I asked him if anything he's learned as a parent applies to the situation with Bynum. "I know when I was younger and I got in trouble for something silly. I felt I had the best parents in the world. But I vowed and swore that I was going to run away. I left the house. I went about five or six blocks. And then I turned around. But I was a runaway for at least six blocks."I'm not sure anybody would put him at the superstar point. To me a superstar is defined by consistency over a long period of time. There have been a lot of guys in this league that come in for a year or two and are gone. I'm not saying that's him. But greatness in this league is defined over a period of time. So really, let's look back on this 10 years from now.
" -- Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak

After having yet another heated argument with his brother, Daisuke and J are out in the city and spot a young man being mugged by some thugs. Daisuke takes care of the thugs but the guy being attacked runs off. He does however catch up with Daisuke later and thanks him for his help. The guy is called Kia Freeborn and he is the son of Judoh's most famous musical talent Blues Dullea. While Judoh adores him Kia reveals that Blues is nothing more than a drunk and a wife-beater who walked out on Kia and his mother. Kia is filled with anger and hate towards his father and wants to cause him immense pain, and the perfect opportunity has just presented itself. Kia works at a factory that is illegally producing gun parts and now his younger half-brother, Ray, is about to give his first performance. Daisuke uncovers Kia's intentions and races to the opera house to stop him. As Ray leaves the opera house after the concert Kia walks up to him with a gun in his jacket. He plans to kill Ray so he can witness his father suffer immense pain but when Ray recognizes Kia as his half brother he runs up to him and hugs him. Kia freezes and is overwhelmed by emotion and after a tense moment where Daisuke was unsure of what was going to happen, Kia returns Ray's affection and hugs him back. Afterwards Kia tells Daisuke that his hate has faded away.

i play dead
and hurting stops
it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

text: After the 'Red Wedding': 'Game of Thrones' promises more surprises, bloodBy Doug Gross, CNNUpdated 8:17 PM ET, Sun April 6, 2014'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photos'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros – In HBO's "Game of Thrones," a robust cast of lords and ladies all plot to claim the Iron Throne and rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Between the beheadings and the house mottos, it can be easy to lose track of who does what. Here's a brief guide to who's who (while they're still here):Hide Caption 1 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Jon Snow (Kit Harington): From bastard son to wildling lover, Jon Snow and his immaculate medieval tresses have had quite the journey. Jon vowed to be loyal to the Night's Watch -- the ragtag group who stand guard at the icy North wall on high alert for the fantastical (the zombie-like White Walkers) and the free (wildlings) -- and he's held true to that promise even after a detour in the arms of wildling Ygritte. Sadly, by the end of season four, that romance is dead.Hide Caption 2 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage): With his sharp wit and swift thinking, Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister has managed to stay alive through all three seasons of "Game of Thrones," although the fourth season has been even dicier. A Lannister and therefore the son of the wealthiest guy around, Tyrion is nonetheless despised by his family because of his size and their belief that he "killed" their mother during childbirth. Hide Caption 3 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke): As one of the few surviving descendants of the Targaryen family, Daenerys has a lot of expectations riding on her platinum-haired head. But, much to our enjoyment, she has risen to and surpassed all of them. Once nothing more than an offering for a king, Daenerys -- called Khaleesi, or queen, by the Dothraki people she once helped rule -- has morphed into a Mother of Dragons who insists on justice and is a formidable foe in the "Game of Thrones."Hide Caption 4 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson): In the pantheon of most-hated TV characters, "Game of Thrones'" boy king Joffrey has to be one of the top choices. He's petulant, cruel and too immature to rule, but don't tell him that or he'll have your tongue. The most delicious part for the viewers at home is that he's not the rightful heir to the Iron Throne that he thinks he is, although that didn't stop his reign of terror. In our personal opinions, we'd say the Purple Wedding was one of Joff's best scenes. Hide Caption 5 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Arya Stark (Maisie Williams): Much of Arya's family has been sent to their graves by one wicked person or another, but the young swordswoman is still kicking. With Sandor "The Hound" Clegane at her side imparting lessons in mercilessness and self-preservation, the orphaned Arya is surviving. Hide Caption 6 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey): Cersei has become more or less your stereotypical evil queen, albeit one who has zero issues with incest. After helping her son Joffrey take the throne, Cersei tried to rule alongside her son only to have him overtake her will. During season four, when not being as cruel as ever, she's been a central character in a rich debate on the show's treatment of sexual violence.Hide Caption 7 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau): Jaime Lannister began the "Game of Thrones" as a pretty despicable character, one who had no compunction about throwing a 10-year-old from a window. But over the course of season three this lovesick nobleman was put through his paces, losing the very limb that helped him become so powerful. Hide Caption 8 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen): If you find yourself confused as to who exactly Theon Greyjoy is, don't feel bad: he is, too. Once the ward of the House of Stark, Theon betrayed those who were like family to him to claim a noble title that lasted for essentially a nanosecond. That led to Theon suffering as a prisoner and punching bag for Bastard of Bolton Ramsay Snow, who has the guy thinking his name is "Reek."Hide Caption 9 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Sandor "The Hound" Clegane (Rory McCann): A killer to the bone but not without a heart, Sandor, or "The Hound" as he's known, was once a bodyguard for King Joffrey but deserted his post. He then tried to take Arya Stark hostage in hopes he could exchange her for ransom, but that plan -- much to Arya's amusement -- didn't work out so well.Hide Caption 10 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright): Bran Stark, the middle son of the House of Stark, was left crippled from the very first episode of "Game of Thrones" but has gained a gift for visions. With his faithful Hodor (Kristian Nairn) by his side for mobility, the now orphaned Bran has gone beyond the Wall in search of the three-eyed Raven he frequently sees in visions. Hide Caption 11 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner): Sansa Stark/Sansa Lannister is a character many love to hate, because she started out as pretty insufferable. But after being ridiculed and tortured by Joffrey Lannister, her former fiance, and held captive by him and his family, we've come around. Not unlike her younger sister Arya, Sansa has started to learn the rules of the "Game," and by the end of season four begins to deftly play by them. Hide Caption 12 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance): No matter who's worn the crown on "Game of Thrones," Tywin Lannister was always somewhere scheming to keep the Lannister family's legacy rich in money and power. He's alsoe the evil mastermind behind the hideous Red Wedding in the third season.Hide Caption 13 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal): Arriving at King's Landing for the first time in season four, Martell is from Dorne, in the southern reaches of the Seven Kingdoms, where passions run hot and slights are not forgotten. Weigh that against the fact that his sister was killed by Lannister soldiers and you have a recipe for trouble.Hide Caption 14 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Ygritte (Rose Leslie): Ygritte, one of the Free Folk who live beyond the Wall and are known derogatorily as wildlings by those in the Seven Kingdoms, is proud of her people and deadly with a bow and arrow. Her skill couldn't protect her from an orphan's revenge, however. Hide Caption 15 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane): As a brother to the late King Robert Baratheon -- who held the throne before his son-in-name-only Joffrey took over -- Stannis Baratheon knows he has a rightful claim to the crown. He's gone into battle trying to seal his position, and regularly turns to the magic of creepy "Red Priestess" Melisandre (Carice van Houten) for help.Hide Caption 16 of 17'Game of Thrones': Who's who in Westeros 17 photosWho's who in Westeros – Melisandre (Carice van Houten): Known as the Red Priestess, Melisandre's magic is lethal, but Stannis Baratheon doesn't seem to mind when her power helps him move closer to the Iron Throne. Hide Caption 17 of 17Story highlights"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on April 6 for its fourth seasonThe fantasy epic promises more surprises, and blood, after the "Red Wedding"Actor: "GoT" has set a new standard for televisionStories from the set include dead rabbits and pig manureIf you thought the Red Wedding was rough, "Game of Thrones" promises more blood and brutality when it returns to HBO for its fourth season on Sunday night (April 6).The season picks up in the aftermath of the devastating wedding reception from hell, which proved, in case it was still unclear to anyone, that in the world crafted by novelist George R.R. Martin in his "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy series, no one is ever safe.Unlike some series, this season does not take long to heat up. In King's Landing, brutal King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) is due to be married in an elaborate affair that will bring together a slew of characters, some old and some new, to -- er -- celebrate.So, yes. A wedding in Westeros. What could possibly go wrong?For one, siblings-with-benefits Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) are back together for the first time since Jaime was captured, and partially butchered, in season three, with all the awkwardness that entails. We've already seen that Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) ends up in major trouble (what else is new?) and that new character Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) -- will be attending the joyous occasion with less-than-love in his heart for the Lannisters.Just Watched'Thrones' is back: 'All men must die' replayMore Videos ...'Thrones' is back: 'All men must die' 01:58PLAY VIDEOAs for our other main players:Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), with an army of freed slaves at her back and a trio of increasingly formidable dragons to keep in line, confronts the promise, and pitfalls, of her ascent to true power.After narrowly missing a longed-for reunion with her family, Arya (Maisie Williams) and The Hound (Rory McCann) face what comes next. As bits of her back story come together, Arya will become arguably season four's first true scene stealer. At The Wall, the coming war between the wildlings and the Night's Watch simmers to a boil, with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) caught awkwardly in the middle. Look for this conflict to spur some of the epic battle scenes the series, and Martin's novels, are known for. And what of the White Walkers?Elsewhere, Stannis (Stephen Dillane) is down but not out after his defeat on the Blackwater and turns increasingly to the creepy "Red Priestess" Melisandre (Carice van Houten) for answers. Bran, with Hodor and friends, continues his mystical trip north to seek what his "green dreams" really mean. And, for those of us who can stand to look, we'll see the continuing travails of poor, tortured Theon Greyjoy.Natalia Tena, who plays Osha on "Game of Thrones," speaks at DragonCon 2013 in Atlanta.In September, I hosted a pair of panels at DragonCon with cast members from the show. James Cosmo (Lord Commander Mormont), Burn Gorman (Karl, the Night's Watchman whose actions lead to chaos at Craster's Keep) and Natalia Tena (wildling Osha) talked about what it means to be a part of the massively popular series. Below are some excerpts from those panels: (Editor's Note: Contains spoilers for season three of the show.)On what has made the show beloved by so many fans:Cosmo: If I knew that, I'd be a really rich man. I have worked on lots of historical stuff, but I think "Game of Thrones" ticks so many boxes for so many people. And its production values are so high, continuously. It's just set a new standard for that sort of television. As far as identifying what it is, I think these shows come along once in a lifetime that people just embrace and it becomes something really special. The books that George Martin had written were so well-loved by so many people, and (show runners) David Benioff and Dan Weiss brought that to the screen so beautifully. Tena: I think it's because it's got that "Lord of the Rings" magic, with just a hunk of sex and death thrown at it. And I think that's something we all have a link to and it's also how I imagine the medieval world to be -- brutish and short and sexual.Cosmo: When you said that it was "Lord of the Rings" with great sex and violence thrown at it -- well, the sex bit missed me. I am the only guy there who's got this crew of guys and we're all celibate.James Cosmo, at DragonCon 2013 in Atlanta, played Night's Watch Commander Jeor Mormont on "Game of Thrones."On the intense fan reactions to the show:Tena: When you're working you don't think about what something means. You're just thinking about playing a moment, and a truth. I can see now that it means a lot to so many people and that's humbling. But in the moment you're just trying to do the best job you can. Cosmo: When we were doing it, I had no concept about how huge it was going to become. I don't know if anyone did. But from reading the part of Mormont, I just loved the character. He was the one who stood out to me as a man of such innate dignity. It was just a joy to play.On memorable moments from the set:Tena: We skinned a rabbit. ... (A forest ranger) just plunked a rabbit in front of me and Ellie (Kendrick, who plays Meera Reed) and he showed us how to do it. And, it was fine. But when we did it on the day, after skinning 40 rabbits and pulling their heads off ... all of it congealed. It was a hot day and by the end of the day, I had flies all over my hands. I did go a bit mad. I had, like, three showers. Everyone thinks fish smell and you don't really think about meat. Meat, by the end of the day, is horrible. I felt like Lady Macbeth. I was, like, "Out, damn spot!" Pulling their heads off as well -- that was pretty interesting. We ran out of rabbits, so sometimes we had to kind of plunk bits of the bodies back together. It was a special day.Gorman: I wanted to talk about pig s***, if that's all right. That's what I noticed most in Ireland. It's like this really glamorous show and I turn up and it's like, literally, 3-feet depth of pig mess everywhere. I couldn't believe it. I only had a week there and I was like, "I'm done."Photos: Historical TV dramas 18 photosPhotos: Historical TV dramas 18 photosBlast from the past: Historical dramas – If you wanted to see more Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) after "Captain America: The First Avenger," consider your wish granted.

I fish quite a lot up in Oregon for steelhead. And my fishing buddy who's a few years older than me, Bo -- he hasn't read many books in his life. But when I said I'm doing this thing, "Game of Thrones," he said, "Oh, man. I'm going to get these books." We'd be standing up to our waist, trying to catch steelhead in the river ... and he'd say, "Well, I got to Chapter 23 last night. You're still there, kid."And then it came to book three and he says, "I can't see you anywhere, man. He's not talking about you." So that was my conduit to learning where my career was going -- this old guy standing next to me while we were fishing.Actor Burn Gorman, speaking at DragonCon 2013 in Atlanta, plays Karl on "Game of Thrones."On the show's Emmy Award-winning costumesCosmo: As you get helped into the leggings and the big leather chest piece and then the cloak, you can feel the sort of gravitas of the character coming. Even the way you walk is informed by these things that drag along behind you; you're almost pulling your cloak behind you. Costuming is a hugely important part of building the character and I wouldn't have it any other way. It does help, although at times it can be a bit annoying and cumbersome. It must have been about 50-60 pounds when it was on. As you see, I'm a lightweight kind of guy (his agency says he is 6-foot-1 and weighs about 240 pounds). But I know when I was wearing all the costume and I was about to get on my horse, he looked really, really unhappy.Tena: With every single character you play, your costume is your outward appearance to the world. ... That immediately determines how the world, and you yourself, see you.More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

Novak Djokovic tops off an impressive year in London, solidifying himself as ATP Player of the Year.
No. 1 and Done
Novak Djokovic may have come into London with the No. 1 ranking all sewn up, but he proved he was truly deserving of the honor when he capped off his 2012 season by defeating Roger Federer in the championship match of the ATP World Tour Finals. It was both a workman-like and spectacular week for the Serb. He didn't always play his best, frequently finding himself down early against the likes of Murray, del Potro, and Federer, but on each of those occasions, he lived up to his seeding, showing great grit and determination to find a way to secure the win and ultimately go undefeated in the British capital. Furthermore, with his victory in London, Djokovic has arguably presented the best case for being named the ATP's Player of the Year. In addition to the ATP World Tour Finals, he claimed the Aussie Open, three Masters shields, and reached the finals of an...

But the classical approach isn't the only one and pianist/composer Edward Weiss has developed a 'new age' method that allows the complete beginner to quickly play chords and improvise. The course now has over 1150 members and is continuing to add new ones on a daily basis.
Here's what course creator Edward Weiss has to say about the lessons:
"So many students instantly go the classical route because they're not aware of alternatives. There is an alternative way to play piano - one where you can just sit down and play off the top of your head using chords and a chord chart."
The 'new age' piano lessons offered by Weiss's company Quiescence Music are all online and there are now over 150 of them. Video and step-by-step instruction are given so students can learn quickly.
Weiss talks about his own learning experience:
"I took a community college piano class once and that lasted about 3 months. I learned how to play triads which I already knew how to do. With my method, students are introduced to something called the open position chord which allows them to play modern sounding chords right away with both hands."
A free piano lesson 'November Sunrise,' shows students the method in action. It's available at Weiss's website http://www.Quiescencemusic.com

Q: In your community, are you aware of (or have you participated in) meetings with local law enforcement leadership to have an open discussion on the handling of carry/OC MWAG type interactions?
In the discussion thread "Why Does It Have To Be OC v Police," Glocknug posed the question of why such interactions so often end up adversarial.
OhioCatter has proposed something that has been done in his community:
Discuss the viability of such discussions. Please keep this on-track, by focusing on such meetings/discussions. (Continuing the debate from the other thread should be done in that other thread.)

The relation between infants' perception of catchableness and the control of catching. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18194016 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The authors studied how infants come to perceive and act adaptively by presenting 35 three- to nine-month-olds with balls that approached at various speeds according to a staircase procedure. They determined whether infants attempted to reach for the ball and whether they were successful (i.e., contacted the ball). In addition, the time and distance of the ball at the onset of the catching movements were measured for the successful interceptions. The authors found that not only catching skill but also the perceptual judgments of the catchableness improved with age; infants started to take their catching ability into account when judging whether a ball was catchable. Moreover, the authors observed that infants who made imprecise perceptual judgments were more likely to use a distance control strategy, whereas infants who made accurate perceptual judgments were more likely to use the more adaptive time strategy to control the catching movements. They conclude that the present study supports the proposal that, even in prelocomotor infants, the development of perception is intricately linked to or constrained by development in the visual control of action. |

Try e-mailing them yet? You might be surprised how open they might be about their process...
There are lots of process aids you can use to make a product that you don't have to disclose. So while it's legal for them to say things like "100% beet sugar" it's not intellectually honest.
To paraphrase Dr. England - "Off-flavors smooth with time. So do mountains. Brew it right from the start!" My blogsite: http://nateobrew.blogspot.com/
To add a couploe things: The flavors you get from candi sugar are not really from heating the sugar or camelizing it. Both these are frowned upon in a sugar factory (the object is to make a white product). The flavors are from the way sugar is made. The process removes colorants and other impurities (flavors). Once the process has removed impurities the sugar is crystallized it goes to the centrifigal station. At the centrigal station the run-off syrup gets re-crystalized in vacuum pans, this sugar is then spun in a 2nd centrifgal, the second run-off syrup is then spun off. This is repeated several times until is is un-economic to extract any more sucrose. The final molasses is sold as animal feed or for other products. This is not the syrup that is sold a candi sugar (it would taste bad). I believe candi sugar is 3rd or 4th run-off syrup. Traditionally candi sugar is beet sugar, I think that beacuse that is where most of the European sugar comes from. Sugar beets are grown in colder areas, not many cane refineries there. The run-off syrups are then inverted, why? Pure liquid sucrose has a very short shelf life, it will get yeast, mold, etc growing in it. Invert syrups are very shelf stable. Inverting sucrose is done several ways in a sugar plant, enzymes, acid, or heating. The last two would drive the color up. This process would be very hard to replicate, camelizing sucrose will give it flavor but noe that "true" flavor found in run-off syrups.
I did over simplify the process, didnt want to write a novel lol. Just to clarify a point, no "flavors" are made in the process. Not by caramelization or the maillard reaction. A better way to think of it is the concentration of impurities (flavors) increases through centrifugal run-off syups. Your diagram does not give detail here, the point the syrup is spun off the centrifigals and goes back to the pans is repeated several times. Usually up to 5 times. Each time the impurities are concentrated in the syrup. The impurities go up and the sucrose content goes down. Even with all the heaters you see and the vacuum pans, no sucrose is destroyed by maillard reaction or caramelization. All the heating is done at "safe" temps.
The introduction of slaked lime prior to carbonatation (not cabonation as the EPA diagram states) does create a high ph Sucrose/Lime mixture. The amount of time this high pH occurs is a very very short period. The pH is immediately driven down by the CO2introduced. The destruction of sucrose here, Maillard or caramelization, is very very low compared to other parts of the process. The goal of any sugar factory is to avoid any destruction by heat and it simply does not occur (on any scale worth mentionig that would contribute to flavor.)
There seems to be several companies that provide similar products in Europe. Some are more forthcoming than others. Some of the products have spec sheets that show the syrup is mostly maltose and fructose, which tells me there's enzymatic breakdown and the syrup is created before the maltose is broken down further. Other spec sheets show no maltose and from what I understand it's some form of a glucose syrup. I'm not sure which variety is D2. I also believe the spec sheet on D2 is deceptive. I don't believe in the magic processing from refined sugar in super secret vacuum processors. I believe it begins life as an unrefined sugar and gets heat processed into something tasty. I do think there is a complex process involved, possibly with multiple staged heating. The best way to crack the secret would be to start with whole sugar beets but I wouldn't know where to get any in these parts.

This is a delicious body butter which I alternate as a body butter and a hand cream. The scent is delectable, it really does smell like fresh oranges. It also lasts for a couple hours, so in that sense, it is superior to the perfume of the same name which lasts all of five minutes. I love how reasonable the price is and how moisturizing the product is. I will continue to purchase this.
I got this on sale when it was Pacifica's scent of the month. I loved the body wash and this lotion was no different! I'm not a fan of super-heavy body lotions, and this absorbs well and doesn't stick around to make you feel greasy. I love using the whole linebody wash, lotion, and sprayand walking around in a state of orangey bliss. I will definitely re-order when I run out.
Not a huge fan of this brand sadly. It smells nice but doesn't last long and isn't as moisturizing as I'd like. Overpriced too.
I grabbed this at Target at just $5 for a smaller tube. To me, this smells more like gummy bears or fruit punch. It makes my head hurt a little.
Two stars because I really was hoping for more of a fresh, citrusy smell, though it does moisturize well.
Bought this on a whim when it was on sale at Target (although it was still a little expensive given the size... 8 oz). I was really drawn to the Art Deco-style packaging and the scent. I wouldn't call is a "body butter" since it's not that thick or moisturizing, but it leaves my skin feeling and smelling wonderful. It's the perfect size, too, for a medium long trip. Will repurchase.
I got a travel size of the body butter in a set from Target for $17. I've heard a few YouTubers talk about it, so I really wanted to try it. I generally hate any type of lotion because my skin doesn't get dry very often, so most lotions leave me feeling overly greasy. However, this body butter doesn't make me greasy at all. I mainly use it on my hands, and it smells SO good, and like I said, it isn't greasy at all. It is quite expensive, which is the main reason why I probably won't repurchase it, but it's a great body butter overall.
Along with most of the reviews on here I received the sample size of it in my ipsy bag. I immediately fell in love with the smell and bought a full sized one (I pack the sample size one with me on my travels so I'm never without it! hehe...).
The smell isn't entirely composed of oranges as I can smell hints of raspberry and other scents that lean on the sweet side, but whatever it is, it smells amazing! In addition to the smell, the lotion is extremely moisturizing and thick. I have very dry legs that can often get flakey at times, but this body butter takes care of it. I usually apply it after I shower or before I go out and it absorbs within five minutes. The smell is quite strong when I first apply it, but it fades after around an hour. It comes in a squeeze tube type of bottle that a lot of lotions come in.
I found the full-sized bottle for around 11 bucks at Target (I think it mightve been on sale around that time), but I know Pacifica has deals/offers quite often online as well.
I've been spritzing the Tuscan Blood Orange perfume at Whole Foods for about two years now, but rarely do I justify spending money on fragrances unless they REALLY wow me. Either way, when I discovered that this line had a body butter as well, I was excited to try it. However, the price that Whole Foods was charging was exorbitant (as their prices can sometimes be), so I shied away from trying it out.
Over the past month, my skin has been super-flaky. I usually combat this with coconut oil directly after a shower, but I ran out and haven't had the chance to get to the one store in my area that sells the extra-virgin kind, so I needed something fast or I'd feel like my skin was on fire.
Ran to Target the other day and discovered that they had the Pacifica range of body butters. They were charging $8 less than Whole Foods (it was still $13, which is high for a body butter for me, but I really wanted to try this stuff), so I picked it up. And it has worked wonders for me.
My skin has felt so supple and silky and the scent is absolutely to-die-for. It's so summery and sweet. I don't even have to start off with coconut oil - I just smooth this on right after I dry off and my skin is flake-free and soft all day. It's also wonderful on my oft-washed hands, keeping them from getting cracked and rough.
The packaging is pretty typical of body creams - it's a large squeeze tube with a pop-cap. The design on the packaging is quite pleasing. Very pretty and definitely conveys the sweetness of the scent inside.
I will definitely repurchase when I run out.
EDIT 7/19/13: Nearly ran out of the Tuscan Blood Orange, so this morning, I picked up the Indian Coconut Nectar scented lotion and it performs every bit as beautifully as the Tuscan Blood Orange. In fact, I noticed that these body butters actually brighten my tattoos! Huzzah!

Pacifica says their Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter will help you "smell incredible with our nourishing and antioxidant rich ingredients. Our body butter helps fight signs of aging while adding deep moisture and protection. Made with nature's best moisturizers - shea butter, almond oil, and safflower oil. Pacifica offers two sizes of their body butters, an 8 oz ($15) and a travel size 2.5 oz ($7). I have the travel sized tube, which I received in an Ipsy Bag. Pacifica is a cruelty free, vegan friendly brand that specializes in fragrance, so these body butters are available in a variety of naturally inspired scents. Pacifica products can be purchased on the brand's website, at Target, and select Whole Foods grocery stores. This product was made in the USA.
Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter comes in a yellow squeeze tube with a flip top cap. The front of the tube features the product name, Pacifica logo, and slides of blood oranges. The back of the tube offers a scent description and a full ingredient list. This product's packaging is recyclable.
Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter is a thick white cream. Despite it's thick texture, Pacifica's body butter melts right into the skin and isn't greasy in the slightest. This body butter is one of the most effective moisturizers I've ever used. Lately my elbows have been falling apart, they're red, cracked, and so, so dry. Pacifica's Body Butter has nearly fixed the problem in just two days. That's really impressive. The moisture this product delivers is long lasting and very softening. I also feel like Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter really gives the skin a smooth, healthy appearance.
The scent of Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body butter is described as a "delicate blend, juicy and spicy blood orange is offset with subtle strawberry and raspberry notes and grounded in fleshy mandarin and Italian oranges. An orange connoisseur's dream!". Normally I hate oranges, the scent of them makes me nauseated, so I was really wary of trying this body butter. Luckily, that doesn't happen at all when I smell Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange scent. Its a surprisingly realistic fragrance, it smells just like a fresh peeled orange; sweet, juicy, and kinda tart, but at the same time there's more to this scent than just orange, but what? I can't quite place my finger on it.
Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter is an excellent product! The packaging is attractive. The price point is a little high, about on par with or slightly more expensive than Bath&BodyWorks body butters. The quality of this body butter is great, it really seems to benefit my skin and it leaves behind a natural, delicious, citrus scent. If you're a body butter fanatic, or a lover of vegan lotions, you need to try Pacifica's Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter.

This is an outstanding lotion! It's so moisturizing, and is especially perfect for my dry winter hands. It does feel a bit greasy when you first put it on, but that goes away quickly. I put it on when I go to bed, so my hands feel amazing in the morning. I didn't get to choose the scent I got though, since I received the lotion in my Ipsy Glam Bag, so I'm not a big fan of the orange scent.

If at first you don't succeed, launching proprietary movie formats probably isn't for you. At least, that's how the saying goes when one considers Sony's "Universal" Media Disc format that took off on the PSP and then landed somewhere in a pile of Beta Max tapes. But there's also the "try and try again" part, in this case referring to a new movie download service which Sony intends to launch early in 2007.
The Wall Street Journal reports that "people with knowledge of the matter" are pointing to an upcoming iTunes-like service that will allow users to download films and then transfer them (via Memory Stick) to that most portable of Playstations. The first batch of films up for grabs will naturally be from Sony Pictures Entertainment (think Spider-Man, House of Flying Daggers and ... Hitch), with more studios expected to follow shortly after the service launches. The Financial Times labels Amazon.com, Movielink and CinemaNow as potential partners in the endeavor.
In addition, said knowledgable people predict that a similar service will allow users to bypass their computers entirely and download video directly to the PSP. By eliminating optical storage and aiming at direct downloads, Sony joins Apple (iTunes movies) and Microsoft (Video marketplace) in a battle that runs parallel to the one currently taking place between HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Best get some popcorn for this one.

7 Things the Most-Highlighted Kindle Passages Tell Us About American Readers
The Beauty of Broken Kindle Screens
There's a good reason why our culture is so fond of book art — it not only carries with it the implied richness and depth of the text it uses as its material, but appeals to our love of books as objects, our desire to turn knowledge into art. But can an e-reader, that most sterile of reading experiences, have the same effect on us? In 56 Broken Kindle Screens, a print on demand paperback that we spotted over at Booooooom, artists Sebastian Schmieg and Silvio Lorusso have put together a series of found photos of broken Kindle screens that become art in and of themselves.
As attached as we are to the printed word, we have to admit that we find these images, of electronic ink spattered across cracked plastic pages, quite beautiful. As its creators explain, "The book takes as its starting point the peculiar aesthetic of broken E Ink displays and serves as an examination into the reading device's materiality. As the screens break, they become collages composed of different pages, cover illustrations and interface elements." The result is quite lovely, in its own stark, black and white way: a patchwork digital collage created at random. Click through to check out a few pages from the book, and let us know what you think in the comments. … Read More
