Temple management stops issuing special entry tickets post noon
After a brief lull for nine days owing to the relentless agitations against the creation of a separate State that rocked the Seemandhra region, the hill temple of Lord Venkateswara on Friday woke up to a sudden emergence of pilgrim crowd.
The impact of the crowd was first felt at Alipiri security point down Tirupati where a large number of vehicles were stranded since the small hours of the day. The spate in the crowd could be gauged by the fact that it took more than one hour for the commuters to secure the mandatory toll pass at the security point. Both the massive darshan complexes, which together hold over 30,000 pilgrims in one sitting, were full to their capacity and the queue lines spilled on to the road for over 3 to 4 km.
While the waiting time for the devotees in the ordinary queue lines stretched beyond 22 hours, it was over 14 hours for those in the Rs.300 special entry darshan lines.

Hey Kim...You're an idiot! You think she wrote her own dialogue for this? Like I said in the title, DUUUHH!
Why sally field?
- kim
- 9/7/06
i felt sally field took every opportunity to portrayed barbara stanwyck as a miserable, controlling, unattractive recluse. i never got that impression from her or others who worked with her. i watched fire and desire and could not believe the negative tone and light in which sally field put one of the all time greatest actesses in. my thoughts on sally field is, she should be fired and i desire someone who is able to talk about barbara in a more positive, respectful and fair light. and NO i do not love you this time sally.!!!TMC please do another documentary on ms. stanwyck.. maybe miss evans is available.thank you
stanwyck sizzles

the documentary "Fire and Desire" is a comprehensive review of the spectacular acting career of one of the greats of the silver screen. Although I am not the biggest Sally Fields fan, I have to give her props for the way she dramatized Barbara's words and actions. I thought the documentary was extraordinarily well researched, and the montages of screams was perfection. I only hope this piece is released on dvd in the near future as i would not only love to view it again, but would love to share it with my friends who share my love of tcm and acting. michael w.

Dear Ray,
Everyone else seems to be getting into this "open letter" business, and not one to be left out, I decided to throw my two pence in as well. I hope you will forgive my rush to join the herd, especially as my inaugural offering places its crosshairs on you.
First of all, before I say anything else, let me say that I cherish you as a brother in Christ, I have learned much from you, and I would never seek to impugn your heart for God and for God's people. All of those things are evident to those who spend any time with you.
But other things are evident as well.
I am frustrated, Ray. No, not in a debilitating or discouraging way, really. I am frustrated in a delightful way at how sweet your spirit is, which to me is a prime indication of the harmony of your heart with the Spirit of the living God. You always seek to "outdo one another showing honor," and I remember plenty of lunches and coffee conversations and moments in our Pastors Gospel Group back in Nashville where you'd take up nearly the entire time yakking and yakking about how great and wonderful the rest of us were. Really, Ray, you should try to focus more on yourself and your own awesomeness. The rest of us simply cannot compete with your selflessness.
I could go on and on with your flabbergasting fabulousness, but I will just hone in on one thing here. You really have a one-track mind. It's convicting. And encouraging. You just won't stop reveling in and exulting in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I really felt like I had to air this splendid grievance with you, so you would know. I'm sorry to do it in the form of an open letter, but I thought others should know about this too, so they may regard you accordingly. Doggone it, Ray, you make me want to love Jesus more. And that's daunting. And wonderful. I love you.
Your brother in Christ,

COLLEGE STATION, Dec. 23, 2010 An international team of researchers featuring Texas A&M University physicist Jairo Sinova has announced a breakthrough that gives a new spin to semiconductor nanoelectronics and the world of information technology.
The team has developed an electrically controllable device whose functionality is based on an electron's spin. Their results, the culmination of a 20-year scientific quest involving many international researchers and groups, are published in the current issue of Science.
The team, which also includes researchers from the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory and the Universities of Cambridge and Nottingham in the United Kingdom as well as the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in the Czech Republic, is the first to combine the spin-helix state and anomalous Hall effect to create a realistic spin-field-effect transistor (FET) operable at high temperatures, complete with an AND-gate logic device the first such realization in the type of transistors originally proposed by Purdue University's Supriyo Datta and Biswajit Das in 1989.
"One of the major stumbling blocks was that to manipulate spin, one may also destroy it," Sinova explains. "It has only recently been realized that one could manipulate it without destroying it by choosing a particular set-up for the device and manipulating the material. One also has to detect it without destroying it, which we were able to do by exploiting our findings from our study of the spin Hall effect six years ago. It is the combination of these basic physics research projects that has given rise to the first spin-FET."
Sixty years after the transistor's discovery, its operation is still based on the same physical principles of electrical manipulation and detection of electronic charges in a semiconductor, says Hitachi's Dr. Jorg Wunderlich, senior researcher in the team. He says subsequent technology has focused on down-scaling the device size

I have read this somewhere before but it re-surfaced and is so funny that I thought I would post it here for all to read again and for the ones who havent read it yet this will make your laughter quota for the day for sure, I promise.
POCKET TAZER this is to funny... LOL...
Pocket Tazer, a gift for the wife for her protection.
This was submitted by a guy who thoughtfully bought his lovely wife a "pocket tazer" for their anniversary. (Don't be drinking liquids when you read this, I'm warning you.)
Last weekend I spied something at Larry's Pistol and Pawn that tickled my fancy. I bought something really cool for my wife, Toni. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my sweet girl. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer gun with a clip. The effects are supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, but allowing you adequate time to retreat to safety....WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing! I was so disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs that I was so looking forward to.
Awesome!!! But I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, etc., etc.
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently
(trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking
that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood target.
I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie for a fraction of a second and thought better of it. She is such a sweet kitty, after all. But, if I was going to give this thing to Toni to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading
glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, Tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5"
long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and
loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "no
friggin' way!"
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it buddy," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny lil' ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY GUACAMOLE! DANG!!!
I'm pretty sure that Jessie Ventura ran in through the front door,
picked me up out of that recliner, then body slammed me on the carpet over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, soaking wet, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position.
Gracie was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!"
Note: If you ever feel compelled to mug yourself with a Tazer, one
note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You're not going to let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.
SON-OF-A-BUCK that hurt! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at this point), I collected my wits (what
little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My reading
glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get
there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs., I'm pretty sure.
By the way, has anyone seen my testicles? I think they ran away. I'm offering a reward.

Do you love to tweet, post and pin?
How about getting paid to do it?
A new report looks at the best cities to snag a social media job, and the salaries companies will pay for your social savvy.
The explosion of social media has meant a shift for companies, schools, even the government -- incorporating facebook, twitter, Google plus, and the like into what they do every day.
That's also meant a new career path, social media professionals.
The question: how do I get paid to tweet?
Some employers are placing a very large significant emphasis on social media and they just value the profession.
Onward search, which specializes in finding digital careers, looked at the cities with the highest volume of social media jobs.
Number one on their list -- New York.
The next three in California. San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Rounding out the top five, Boston.
Some postings will have social media in their title, but if they don't, other key words include
-- Digital Marketing Project Manager
-- Online Marketing Manager
-- Brand Manager
-- Or P-P-C Specialist.
Of course you'll want to make sure that your skills outside of social media are a good fit for an employer too.
It is inaccurate to have the assumption that if you've got a lot of Facebook friends, that you're going to get paid a lot of money just for doing that.
The onward search survey found salaries for the most experienced professionals in the top markets, as high as 117 thousand dollars annually.

Re: Argies girls in the 2010 ITF Women's Circuit
Maria logró un gran triunfo ante una chica que se las trae:
Irigoyen def Stephens 7-5 3-6 6-1
Report by CharlDa
Really entertaining match, got there at 3-0 Stephens in the second. Sloane has a lot of firepower, on both sides but especially the forehand. Maria is a real clay court argentinian, big loops on the forehand, a lot of spin, moves the ball really well around the court. Sloane was great at attacking with control in the second. Maria asked for a bathroom break before the third, came back with experience. Sloane started to miss more, then she stepped her power down one notch and Maria started moving her around. A few bad calls, a few key misses, and Sloane's lack of experience showed. She has talent though, i liked her.

Vlada is wearing a dress by HANNAH.
Dikla is an actress best known for her role as Yael in the Israeli TV series Shovrei Galim. Dikla also dabbles in directing and producing and is in the process of making her own short film which she has even written herself. Being in front of the camera has inspired Dikla to produce her own film – she loves movies and wants to immerse herself and learn about all aspects of the process of filmmaking. In October she will begin her film studies at Tel Aviv University.
Dikla is wearing a dress by Aviva Zilberman.
Or is a bass player and member of REO. Currently recording a first album (to be released in two months) takes up almost all of her time. Or says that she is working round the clock to perfect the album in a South Tel Aviv studio but we were lucky enough to steal a little of her time to shoot her in this beauty of a dress.
Or is wearing a dress by Aviva Zilberman.
Anna is practically styling the nation as she works as a fashion stylist with some of the top Israeli magazines. Anna has her place firmly set in the Israeli fashion world, alongside magazines she styles lookbooks and works as a personal shopper.

Bon Iver Goes Gold: Both LPs Cross 500k Sales Milestone in Same Week
Announcement comes via Jagjaguwar
My, we've come a long way from "Bonny Bear." Both of Bon Iver's studio albums (2008's For Emma, Forever Ago and 2011's Bon Iver) have gone gold in the same week, according to a statement released by record label Jagjaguwar today (January 23). This double 500,000-sales certification is the latest achievement for Justin Vernon's folk-art pet project, which has received steadily visible acclaim since he emerged from that now-legendary Wisconsin cabin; his debut placed on SPIN's 40 Best Albums of 2008 list; he graced the cover of SPIN's "Success Issue" in 2011; Bon Iver's sophomore LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts and later landed in the top 15 on SPIN's 50 Best Albums of 2011 list; Vernon went to the 2012 Grammys with SPIN on his arm; and he even picked up two awards that night — Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album. "We are, quite simply, very proud," reads the announcement. "Bon Iver's rise is exceptional, a journey unlike any other."

Philosophy Course Descriptions
PHIL 2301 Introduction to Philosophy. This course offers a general overview of some main philosophical issues. We explore questions such as: Why is philosophy relevant? How do we do philosophy? Can we prove the existence of God by means of rational argument? Can we be certain of what we know? Who are we? Our mind? Our body? Both? If so, how are mind and body related? Can we be held responsible for our actions? Could we have done otherwise given our background, our biological and psychological constitution? And finally, what is "the good life"? Who decides what the good life is? Is a good life meaningful?
PHIL 2311 Ethics. The goal of this course is to get a better philosophical understanding of some important notions in the field of ethics. The questions we deal with include: Are we moral beings? Do we have to be good? Why? How do we know what is good? How can we justify our actions? What is the role of reason, of emotions, of society and of environment in our moral life? Should all human beings have the same moral values? Is there any connection between being happy and being good?
PHIL 2321 Critical Reasoning and Logic. Why do we find people convincing? Why do we prefer certain arguments? What does it mean to say that an idea follows from another? Can we learn to think better? By learning logic we learn the tools for good thinking since we become aware of the rules governing the structure of our thought. This course provides the means to distinguish good from bad arguments, to evaluate problems and the solutions to them, and to identify fallacies and non-reasonable conclusions. The goal of this course is to help you improve your thinking (and, therefore, writing) skills. No prior knowledge in logic is required.
PHIL 3310 History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy. This course covers the development of philosophy from its beginning in the sixth century B.C. to the 14th century. In this manner, it covers two main philosophical periods in the History of Philosophy usually referred to as Ancient and Medieval philosophy. We let some of the great philosophers lead us into fundamental notions and issues. Through their writings we learn to think and rethink about those issues. Learning about the history of philosophy is not just learning what philosophers said in the past, but understanding their concerns in what they said and rethinking their ideas in contemporary terms.
PHIL 3311 History of Modern Philosophy. This course covers the development of philosophical thought from the 15th century to the present. In the Modern period we witness the abandonment of medieval Scholastic philosophy, the lay out of the philosophical foundations for the new science (17th c.), the Enlightenment's attempt to extend those foundations to the moral, social and political spheres (18th c.), and the developments and reactions to the Enlightenment during the 19th century. The course lets some fundamental figures in the history of philosophy lead us into fundamental notions and issues. Through their writings we learn to think and rethink about those issues in contemporary terms.
PHIL 3312 Introduction to Metaphysics. This introductory course will consider the traditional problems of metaphysics; personal identity, time, space, causation, freewill, universals and particulars, as well as more recent philosophical concerns such as "vagueness." The course will look at some of the most important of the philosophers who contributed to this literature, including the Empiricists; Locke, Berkeley, and Hume, as well as the rationalists; Descartes, Leibniz and Spinoza, up to and including more recent contemporary literature on these problems.
PHIL 3313 Philosophy of Religion. This course examines some fundamental issues concerning the nature of religious belief, the relation between faith and reason, the arguments for and against the existence of God, and the problem of evil.
PHIL 3314 World Religions from a Philosophical Perspective. This course offers a philosophical and comparative analysis of some of the major Western and Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, and Taoism.
PHIL 4311 Philosophy of Science and Technology. This course reflects on the nature of the scientific enterprise and its technological ramifications. It covers topics in the philosophy of science, including the difference between science and non-science, the nature of the scientific method, the ontological status of theoretical entities or the role of values in science. It also addresses the relation between science and technology and some fundamental topics in the philosophy of technology.
PHIL 4312 Philosophy of Mind. This course explores traditional and contemporary views on the nature of mind. It covers topics such as the mind-body problem, causation of mental entities, the fitting of consciousness in a physical world, intentionality, and computational approaches to mind. Thought experiments involving robots, zombies, Martians, or brains in vats will help us reflect on our nature as beings with mental lives.
PHIL 4330 Great Philosophical Figures. This course is dedicated to cover in depth the works of one or two prominent figures in the history of philosophy. This is a variable topic course.
*PHIL 4331 Classical Political Philosophy (3-0). A survey of classical Greek, Roman and Renaissance political thought from Socrates to Machiavelli.
*PHIL 4332 Modern Political Philosophy (3-0). A survey of modern political thought from Hobbes to Nietzsche.
*PHIL 4333 Contemporary Political Philosophy (3-0). A survey of recent political thought from Nietzsche to Derrida.
*PHIL 4334 Existentialism and Political Violence (3-0). A survey of existentialist thought, and the existentialist critique of political violence from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre.
PHIL 4360 Topics in Contemporary Philosophy. This course studies key philosophical topics and writings in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Among the philosophical movements covered in this course are German idealism, existentialism, logical positivism, linguistic philosophy, and pragmatism.
PHIL 4391 Research. Students can take this course as Directed Readings in Philosophy or as a Research Senior Thesis. This second option is strongly recommended for students intending to apply for graduate studies in philosophy.
PHIL 4395 Capstone Seminar. Students will develop a portfolio from papers and writing samples that best represent their achievements in the discipline. The portfolio should include an introduction justifying the selection of the content material and a critical analysis of the progress made in the degree program.
*These courses are cross-listed with political science courses.

†Homo sapiens idaltu Homo sapiens sapiens
Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man") is the scientific name for the human species. Homo is the human genus, which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, which differentiates them from what has been argued to be their direct ancestor, Homo sapiens idaltu.
S&M (an abbreviation of Symphony and Metallica) is a live album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, with The San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Kamen. It was recorded on April 21–22, 1999 at The Berkeley Community Theatre. This is the final Metallica album to feature Jason Newsted as bassist.
†Homo sapiens idaltu White et al., 2003 Homo sapiens sapiens
Humans (variously Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens sapiens) are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. Humans are distinguished from other primates by their bipedal locomotion, and especially by their relatively larger brain with its particularly well developed neocortex, prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes, which enable high levels of abstract reasoning, language, problem solving, and culture through social learning. Humans use tools to a much higher degree than any other animal, and are the only extant species known to build fires and cook their food, as well as the only known species to clothe themselves and create and use numerous other technologies and arts. The scientific study of humans is the discipline of anthropology.
Human rights are "commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being." Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in local, regional, national, and international law. The doctrine of human rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and in the activities of non-governmental organizations, has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world. The idea of human rights states, "if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights." Despite this, the strong claims made by the doctrine of human rights continue to provoke considerable skepticism and debates about the content, nature and justifications of human rights to this day. Indeed, the question of what is meant by a "right" is itself controversial and the subject of continued philosophical debate.
Many of the basic ideas that animated the human rights movement developed in the aftermath of the Second World War and the atrocities of The Holocaust, culminating in the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The ancient world did not possess the concept of universal human rights. The true forerunner of human rights discourse was the concept of natural rights which appeared as part of the medieval Natural law tradition that became prominent during the Enlightenment with such philosophers as John Locke, Francis Hutcheson, and Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui, and featured prominently in the political discourse of the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
Human trafficking is the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal. Trafficking is a lucrative industry, representing an estimated $32 billion per year in international trade, compared to the estimated annual $650 billion for all illegal international trade circa 2010.
Human evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. While it began with the last common ancestor of all life, the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates, in particular the genus Homo, and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids (or "great apes"). The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, linguistics, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics.
Genetic studies show that primates diverged from other mammals about 85 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period, and the earliest fossils appear in the Paleocene, around 55 million years ago. The family Hominidae diverged from the Hylobatidae (Gibbon) family 15-20 million years ago, and around 14 million years ago, the Ponginae (orangutans), diverged from the Hominidae family. Bipedalism is the basic adaption of the Hominin line, and the earliest bipedal Hominin is considered to be either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin, with Ardipithecus, a full bipedal, coming somewhat later. The gorilla and chimpanzee diverged around the same time, about 4-6 million years ago, and either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin may be our last shared ancestor with them. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus Homo.
Human resources is the set of individuals who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy. "Human capital" is sometimes used synonymously with human resources, although human capital typically refers to a more narrow view (i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and can contribute to an organization). Likewise, other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labor", or simply "people".
The professional discipline and business function that oversees an organization's human resources is called human resource management (HRM, or simply HR).
The human genome is the complete set of genetic information for humans (Homo sapiens). This information is located as DNA sequences within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria. Human genomes include both protein-coding DNA genes and noncoding DNA. Haploid human genomes (contained in egg and sperm cells) consist of three billion DNA base pairs, while diploid genomes (found in somatic cells) have twice the DNA content. While there are significant differences among the genomes of human individuals (on the order of 0.1%), these are considerably smaller than the differences between humans and their closest living relatives, the chimpanzees (approximately 1%) and bonobos.
The Human Genome Project produced the first complete sequences of individual human genomes. As of 2012, thousands of human genomes have been completely sequenced, and many more have been mapped at lower levels of resolution. The resulting data are used worldwide in biomedical science, anthropology, forensics and other branches of science. There is a widely held expectation that genomic studies will lead to advances in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and to new insights in many fields of biology, including human evolution.
Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E) is a multidisciplinary field incorporating contributions from psychology, engineering, biomechanics, mechanobiology, industrial design, graphic design, statistics, operations research and anthropometry. In essence it is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body and its cognitive abilities. The two terms "human factors" and "ergonomics" are essentially synonymous.
The International Ergonomics Association defines ergonomics or human factors as follows:
In mathematics, genus (plural genera) has a few different, but closely related, meanings:
Binomial nomenclature (also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens. The formal introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Swedish natural scientist Carl Linnaeus, effectively beginning with his work Species Plantarum in 1753.
The application of binomial nomenclature is now governed by various internationally agreed codes of rules, of which the two most important are the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) for plants. Although the general principles underlying binomial nomenclature are common to these two codes, there are some differences, both in the terminology they use and in their precise rules.
In biological classification, rank is the level (the relative position) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, and class.
Each rank subsumes under it a number of less general categories. The rank of species, and specification of the genus to which the species belongs is basic, which means that it may not be necessary to specify ranks other than these.
Biological classification, or scientific classification in biology, is a method of scientific taxonomy used to group and categorize organisms into groups such as genus or species. These groups are known as taxa (singular: taxon).
Modern biological classification has its root in the work of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings have since been revised to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent. With the introduction of the cladistic method in the late 20th century, phylogenetic taxonomy in which organisms are grouped based purely on inferred evolutionary relatedness, ignoring morphological similarity, has become common in some areas of biology. Molecular phylogenetics, which uses DNA sequences as data, has also driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue doing so. Biological classification belongs to the science of biological systematics.
In linguistics, grammatical gender is a system of noun classification present in approximately one fourth of the world's languages. In these languages, every noun inherently carries one value of the grammatical category called gender; the values present in a given language (of which there are usually two or three) are called the genders of that language. According to one definition: "Genders are classes of nouns reflected in the behaviour of associated words."
Common gender divisions include masculine and feminine; masculine, feminine and neuter; or animate and inanimate. In a few languages, the gender assignation of nouns is solely determined by their meaning or attributes, like biological sex, humanness, animacy. However, in most languages, this semantic division is only partially valid, and many nouns may belong to a gender category that contrasts with their meaning (e.g. the word "manliness" could be of feminine gender). In this case, the gender assignation can also be influenced by the morphology or phonology of the noun, or in some cases can be apparently arbitrary.
Genus Homo is a science fiction novel by L. Sprague de Camp and P. Schuyler Miller. It was first published in the science fiction magazine Super Science Stories for March, 1941, and subsequently published in book form in hardcover by Fantasy Press in 1950 and in paperback by Berkley Books in 1961. An E-book edition was published by Gollancz's SF Gateway imprint on September 29, 2011 as part of a general release of de Camp's works in electronic form. It has also been translated into French, Italian and German.
The book has the distinction of being de Camp's first science fiction novel, and Miller's only novel. It is perhaps the earliest work of fiction dealing with the afterwards popular theme of humanity being replaced by intelligent apes in the future, later epitomized by Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes.
Homo is the taxonomical genus that includes modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens).
Homo may also refer to:
Yuanmou Man (simplified Chinese: 元谋人; traditional Chinese: 元謀人; pinyin: Yuánmóu Rén), Homo erectus yuanmouensis, refers to a member of the Homo genus whose remnants, two incisors, were discovered near Danawu Village in Yuanmou County (simplified Chinese: 元谋县; traditional Chinese: 元謀縣; pinyin: Yuánmóu Xiàn) in southwestern province of Yunnan, China. Later, stone artifacts, pieces of animal bone showing signs of human work and ash from campfires were also dug up from the site. The fossils are on display at the National Museum of China, Beijing.
The remnants of Yuanmou Man were discovered on May 1, 1965, by the geologist Fang Qian, who was working for the Geological Mechanics Research Institute. Based on the palaeomagnetic dating of the rock they were found in, it was initially estimated that the fossils were about 1.7 Ma BP and thus represented the earliest fossils of human ancestors found in China and East Asia. It was once thought to be possibly predated by "Wushan Man", but that has turned out to be a stem-orangutan (Ponginae).
Homo habilis (also Australopithecus habilis) is a species of the Hominini tribe, which lived from approximately 2.33 to 1.44 million years ago, during the Gelasian Pleistocene period. While there has been scholarly controversy regarding its placement in the genus Homo rather than the genus Australopithecus, its brain size has been shown to range from 550 cm3 to 687 cm3, rather than from 363 cm3 to 600 cm3 as formerly thought. These more recent findings concerning brain size favor its traditional placement in the genus Homo, as does the need for the genus to be monophyletic if H. habilis is indeed the common ancestor.]citation needed[
In its appearance and morphology, H. habilis is the least similar to modern humans of all species in the genus Homo (except the equally controversial H. rudolfensis), and its classification as Homo has been the subject of controversial debate since its first proposal in the 1960s. H. habilis was short and had disproportionately long arms compared to modern humans; however, it had a less protruding face than the australopithecines from which it is thought to have descended. H. habilis had a cranial capacity slightly less than half of the size of modern humans. Despite the ape-like morphology of the bodies, H. habilis remains are often accompanied by primitive stone tools (e.g. Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania and Lake Turkana, Kenya).
Neanderthal, or Homo neanderthalensis, was a species of the Homo genus that inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia.
Neanderthal may also refer to:
Neanderthal is a 1996 bestselling novel written by John Darnton.
The plot of Neanderthal revolves around two rival scientists, Matt Mattison and Susan Arnot, who are sent by the United States government to search for missing anthropologist James Kellicut. Their only clue for their search is a neanderthal skull. The skull should have existed 40,000 years ago, however carbon dating shows it is only twenty-five years old.
Neanderthal is the second studio album by Danish synthrock band Spleen United. It topped the Danish Albums Chart at #1.
(Live From MTV Spanking New Music Tour)
Man Is the Bastard were a pioneering hardcore punk band who contributed the name, and perhaps also the ethos, to the punk subgenre known as power violence. Based in Claremont, California, the band existed from 1990 to 1997, releasing many vinyl records on obscure labels from around the world.
In stark contrast to other punk musicians, Man Is the Bastard made the move of displacing the electric guitar from its long reign as the primary instrument of punk aggression.]citation needed[ In turn, they made room within their revolutionary spirit for progressive bass chords and scales, for industrial noise (field recordings and power electronics), and for member Henry Barnes' (Amps for Christ) homemade guitar reconfigurations.
Neanderthal extinction hypotheses are plausible explanations of how Neanderthals became extinct around 30,000 years ago.
Since the discovery of Neanderthal remains, both the Neanderthals' place in the human family tree and their relation to modern Europeans has been hotly debated. At different times they have been classified as a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis) and as a Human subspecies (Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens neandertalensis).
The Neanderthal genome project is a collaboration of scientists coordinated by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and 454 Life Sciences in the United States to sequence the Neanderthal genome.
Founded in July 2006, the project published their results in the May 2010 journal Science detailing an initial draft of the Neanderthal genome based on the analysis of four billion base pairs of Neanderthal DNA. The study determined that some mixture of genes occurred between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans and presented evidence that elements of their genome remain in that of non-African modern humans.
Feldhofer 1, Neanderthal 1 is the common name for the initial 40,000-year-old Neanderthal specimen found in Kleine Feldhofer Grotte in August 1856. It represents the beginning of paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline.
The discovery was made in Feldhofer grotto in a limestone quarry located in Neanderthal, Germany. Neanderthal 1 consisted of a skull cap, two femora, the three right arm bones, two of the left arm bones, ilium, and fragments of a scapula and ribs. The fossils were given by quarry workers to a local teacher and amateur naturalist, Johann Carl Fuhlrott. The description of the remains was determined by anatomist Hermann Schaffhausen. The find was announced jointly in 1857.
Neanderthal Museum is a museum in Mettmann, Germany. Located at the site of the first Neanderthal man discovery in the Neandertal, it features an exhibit centered on human evolution. The museum was constructed in 1996 to a design by architect Arno Brandlhuber and draws about 170,000 visitors per year. The museum also includes an archaeological park on the original discovery site, a Stone Age workshop, as well as an art trail named "human traces". All signs in the museum as well as the audio guide offered by the museum are available in German and English.
H. s. neanderthalensis
Neanderthal behavior is subject to much study and speculation. Neanderthals were thought to be almost exclusively carnivorous and apex predators. However, new studies indicate that they had cooked vegetables in their diet. They made advanced tools, had language (the nature of which is debated) and lived in complex social groups.
Lufengpithecus Ankarapithecus Sivapithecus Gigantopithecus Khoratpithecus Pongo
Ponginae is a subfamily in the hominidae family. Once a diverse lineage of Eurasian apes, it is now represented by two species of orangutans, the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii), and the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). The Sumatran orangutan is now listed as critically endangered by the IUCN and the Bornean orangutan is listed as endangered.
In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans, frequently dubbed the "Out of Africa" theory, is the most widely accepted model describing the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans. The theory is called the (Recent) Out-of-Africa model in the popular press, and academically the recent single-origin hypothesis (RSOH), Replacement Hypothesis, and Recent African Origin (RAO) model. The concept was speculative until the 1980s, when it was corroborated by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, combined with evidence based on physical anthropology of archaic specimens.
Genetic studies and fossil evidence show that Homo sapiensarchaic evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa, between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago, that members of one branch of Homo sapiens left Africa by between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced earlier human populations such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus. The date of the earliest successful "out of Africa" migration (earliest migrants with living descendants) has generally been placed at 60,000 years ago as suggested by genetics, although migration out of the continent may have taken place as early as 125,000 years ago according to Arabian archaeology finds of tools in the region. A 2013 paper reported that a previously unknown lineage had been found, which pushed the estimated date for the most recent common ancestor (Y-MRCA) back to 338,000 years ago.
The continent of Africa has the longest record of human activity of any part of the world and along with its geographical extent, it contains an enormous archaeological resource. Scholars have studied Egyptology for centuries but archaeologists have only paid serious attention to the rest of the continent in more recent times.
The term anatomically modern humans (AMH) or anatomically modern Homo sapiens (AMHS) refers in paleoanthropology to individual members of the species Homo sapiens with an appearance consistent with the range of phenotypes in modern humans.
Anatomically-modern humans evolved from archaic Homo sapiens in the Middle Paleolithic, about 200,000 years ago. The emergence of anatomically-modern human marks the dawn of the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, i.e. the subspecies of Homo sapiens that includes all modern humans. The oldest fossil remains of anatomically-modern humans are the Omo remains, which date to 195,000 (±5,000) years ago and include two partial skulls as well as arm, leg, foot and pelvis bones.

NBA Injury News
Last updated 11/11/14
In his second year out of Duke University, Kyrie Irving has given Cleveland Cavaliers fans a reason to show up to the arena. They sure aren't showing up to see a competitive team. Cleveland is just 2-7 on the season, but they have a star in Irving. Last night, though, that star gave the team a scare. Irving had to exit the game in the third quarter with an apparent hand injury. Irving left the game and went to the locker room while holding his left hand. There was genuine concern about the extent of the injury, but Irving was able to return for the fourth quarter. According to Jodie Valade of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the injury was caused by Irving getting his hand caught on another player's foot. He returned to the game with left index finger wrapped. While in the locker room, Irving had underwent an X-Ray that came back negative. "I'm just not feeling comfortable with my left hand," said Irving. "Attacking the rim, I only had one hand, so I was trying to force shots over Chris Kaman, and he did a good job of trying to block my shot."Irving still managed to score 26 points in the loss. He had no assists in the game - a first for his NBA career. In Irving's career, he has averaged 19.4 points per game and 5.5 assists per game. So far this season, he is averaging 24.4 points per game and 5.8 assists per game. He is on pace for his first NBA All-Star appearance if his keeps this pace up. The Cavaliers do not expect the injury to Irving's hand to cause him to miss any practice or game time- at least they haven't indicated a concern. Since Irving was able to return and contribute, it seems safe to assume he will be ready to go for tonight's game against the 76ers in Philadelphia.

Legend has it that Ddeokjjim was created by a royal chef as a way for the king to eat beef without burdening his digestion. (Many kings suffered from indigestion apparently due to lack of exercise)
Whether this really was food of the kings or not, it is a tasty treat.
- 1Mix Marinade:
Mix all marinade ingredients together in a mixing bowl and let sit for 1/2 hour. - 2Prepare the Ddeok:
If the ddeok has been refrigerated and is hard, steam slightly or soak in very warm to hot water until it softens.
Cut the rice-cakes (Ddeok) into 1 1/2 inch lengths.
With a sharp knife, carefully cut slits into opposite sides of each ddeok piece, being careful not to split the piece in half. - 3Slice onion from top to bottom into roughly 1/4 inch thick slices.
- 4Place all sauce ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well.
- 5Place beef in Marinade and let sit for 1/2 hour.
- 6Remove beef and pine nuts from marinade.
- 7Carefully place 1 teaspoon of the beef and pine nuts into the slits in a piece of ddeok.
Repeat until all pieces are "stuffed". - 8Par boil the watercress stems until just softened.
Tie one watercress stem around each end of the stuffed ddeok pieces. - 9Heat a pan or skillet over medium to high heat.
- 10Place sliced onion in pan and cook for twenty to thirty seconds.
- 11Add sauce to pan.
- 12Gently add stuffed ddeok, then pour water into pan from one side, and reduce heat to low.
- 13Stir gently until all ddeok pieces are well coated with sauce.
- 14Cook at a slow simmer until the ddeok pieces turn a light golden color (about ten minutes), then remove from heat.
- 15Place the ddeok pieces onto a serving dish and pour the sauce from the pan over them.
- 16Serve warm.

Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species represent a disproportionate amount of unique evolutionary history. They have few close relatives, are often the only surviving member of their genus, and sometimes the last surviving genus of their evolutionary family. Some EDGE species, such as elephants and pandas, are well known and already receive considerable conservation attention, but many others, such as the Vaquita (the world's rarest cetacean) the bumblebee bat (arguably the world's smallest mammal) and the egg-laying long-beaked echidnas are highly threatened yet remain poorly understood and are frequently overlooked by existing conservation frameworks. Recent research indicates that 70% of the world's most threatened and evolutionarily distinct mammal species are currently receiving little or no conservation attention. If these species are not highlighted and conserved we will not only lose many of the world's unique species and a disproportionate amount of biodiversity, but we may also greatly reduce the potential for future evolution. The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has launched a new global conservation initiative, the EDGE of Existence Programme to raise awareness and funds for the conservation of these species.
Every species is given a score according to the amount of unique evolutionary history it represents, and its conservation status. These scores are used to identify EDGE species.
The true seals or earless seals are one of the three main groups of mammals within the seal superfamily, Pinnipedia. All true seals are members of the family Phocidae /ˈfoʊsədiː/. They are sometimes called crawling seals to distinguish them from the fur seals and sea lions of the family Otariidae. Seals live in the oceans of both hemispheres and are mostly confined to polar, subpolar, and temperate climates, with the exception of the more tropical monk seals.
Adult phocids vary from 1.17 meters (3.8 ft) in length and 45 kilograms (99 lb) in weight, in the ringed seal, to 4.9 meters (16 ft) and 2,400 kilograms (5,300 lb) in the southern elephant seal.

Loxodonta africana africana
The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the larger of the two species of African elephant. Both it and the African forest elephant have usually been classified as a single species, known simply as the African elephant, but recent evidence has seen the forest elephant classified as a distinct species. Some authorities still consider the currently available evidence as insufficient for splitting African elephants into two species.
The largest organisms found on Earth can be determined according to various aspects of organism size, such as: mass, volume, area, length, height, or even genome size. Some organisms group together to form a superorganism, but such are not classed as single large organisms. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest structure composed of living entities, stretching 2,000 km, but contains many organisms of many species. The organism sizes listed are frequently considered "outsized" and are not in the normal size range for the respective species.
A member of the order Cetacea, the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), is believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived. The maximum recorded weight was 190 tonnes for a specimen measuring 30 metres (98 ft), while longer ones, up to 33.4 metres (110 ft), have been recorded but not weighed.
Fauna of Africa, in its broader sense, is all the animals living on the African continent and its surrounding seas and islands. The more characteristic African fauna is found in the Afrotropical ecoregion - formerly called Ethiopian (the Sub-Saharan Africa). Lying almost entirely within the tropics, and equally to north and south of the equator creates favourable conditions for rich wildlife.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

Tiger wrestlers continue to grow at Rumble
The Farmington wrestling team braved treacherous roads and a tough slate of opponents over the weekend at Fargo's Rumble on the Red and came out with some of its best wrestling in years.
The Tigers finished seventh in the 69-team field with 115.5 points. Apple Valley won the meet with 343 points.
"Saturday was the best day of wrestling we have had since I came back," Farmington coach Chad Olson said. "We scored 44 team points on Day 2 against some very tough competition."

So I've just started dating this guy about 3 months ago. We have kissed twice and I'm starting to realize that whenever I decide I want to kiss him I get really sleepy and basically fall asleep so it never happens. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm also concerned about it triggering my cataplexy. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has this problem!

Narcolepsy with Cataplexy has caused me difficulties with dating.
Since a young age just talking emotions and/or especially engaging for a kiss, causes intense emotions for me and there is definitely some form of Cataplexy interference.
We each have a different individual story.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The new business model is traditional
Former PM touts aboriginal-education program
RUSSELL -- Isaac Brandon is a really bright youth from Waywayseecappo First Nation who's come up with an idea for a pen that carries extra cartridges for emergency injections of insulin.
Paul Martin was impressed.
The former prime minister doesn't impress all that easily.
But here were Martin and Brandon in the same classroom of Major Pratt School Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative, and Martin was in Russell for the formal official launch of the local program, which began in January.
An affable and avuncular Martin moved immediately into teaching mode.
SDLqWhat's the first advice you'd give Brandon?" he asked the class of First Nations students.
Patent it, someone said.
Martin slowly revealed the answer: Brandon needs to prove no one else had previously had the idea.
"Skylar, would you use this?" Martin asked student Skylar Seaton. "Do you know, in fact, it's not going to do more harm than good? How do you do it?"
Over the next 10 minutes, Martin led the students through the realization the product must be medically approved, government-certified, then advertised and promoted through doctors who would recommend it to their patients.
"How would you price it?" asked Martin.
That question led to all kinds of learning about material costs, the costs of research and development, manufacturing, advertising, labour and everything else that goes into business decisions.
"The concept of the course -- teaching entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting -- that in itself is not new," Martin had explained earlier. "None of this has ever been offered before to aboriginal Canadians, or, as we understand, to indigenous people anywhere."
Martin's project assigned aboriginal teachers to develop aboriginal textbooks and lesson plans that incorporate aboriginal culture and traditions.
At an assembly at Major Pratt, Martin told the students that prior to European contact, trade flourished from the Far North to the Gulf of Mexico along enormous trade routes. There was manufacturing of pottery and other goods along with a massive agricultural industry.
"For reasons that are inexplicable and unfair, First Nations and M©tis were shut out of the economy. First Nations and M©tis have business in their blood -- you have a huge history behind you, and it's a history of success," he said.
The idea of the business-oriented project is to keep young aboriginal students in school and offer them another path that could lead to post-secondary education and a career.
Just this week, Martin flew to Montreal, Lethbridge, Fort Simpson, The Pas, Grand Rapids, Russell and Winnipeg to promote the program.
He said it's up to aboriginal leaders and education authorities to invite his program into the community.
In Russell, Park West School Division and Waywayseecappo First Nation will sign an agreement May 27 to entrench a pilot project, believed to be unique in Canada, in which the reserve's nursery- to-Grade 8 school becomes part of the school division, and is funded at public school rates, while the band is a partner in all decision-making.
"There is absolutely no excuse for the federal government not to provide education funding," said Martin, adding he thought it was appalling Ottawa funds reserve schools 20 to 30 per cent less per student than children in the provincial system.
"That's immoral, and it's also economically dumb," he said.
Martin, the renowned slayer of deficits, is a little less emphatic when asked why he didn't eliminate that school-funding gap in his nine years as federal finance minister and his nearly 27-month stint as prime minister between 1993 to 2006. His Kelowna Accord would have done so, he said, referring to the agreement with provinces and native leaders reached in late 2005 just before his government fell.
Working together is essential, Martin told students in Russell.
During his time in the western Manitoba town, Martin was bubbling over with praise for Manitoba's Department of Education, and particularly for deputy education minister Gerald Farthing, who Martin said should be sent on a lecture tour across North America to talk about improving education opportunities for aboriginal youth.
"If we do this right," Farthing said in Russell, "the skills and knowledge that students leave with will be relevant. There is so much more we can do if we work together."
The Waywayseecappo and Park West partnership "is a model the rest of us should pay attention to," said Farthing.
"The Department of Education in Manitoba, I can't speak more highly of it," Martin said. "The innovation they've brought to aboriginal education is remarkable."

Aj Manteca, California 8/5/2014 9:00:32 AM Those ideas are jenus but I have to agree with belpre I want my dog to feel safe
Eileen - 249708 Port Perry, ON 8/17/2013 4:11:43 AM My dog loves her crate. It does not have a door on it any more. She goes in her crate and sleeps lots of times. We have a very strict rule in our house if our dog is in her crate you are not allot to put you hands in ad pull her out. This is totally her protected place, her den. If I ask her to go to her crate and stay she will. When we are at dog shows or travel she is in her crate. We usually put the door back on at this time. We never use the crate as a form of punishment.
Drose427 Belpre, OH 2/10/2013 4:35:36 PM I dont believe in using my dogs crate as a timeout place because I want him to feel safe and comfortable in his crate, not like its a punishment. I use our laundry room because theres very little if anything for him to tear up and all the chemicals and what not are very far from reach, even for my clever shiba

JONESBORO ŌĆō Making the 6A State Tournament semifinals their second consecutive year against the Jonesboro Golden Hurricane, the result was almost exactly the same as last season as the Benton Panthers fell 63-53 on Tuesday afternoon at Jonesboro High School. The Hurricane defeated Benton last year 61-51 in the semis at Greenwood. ŌĆ£They had depth,ŌĆØ Benton Coach Dwaine Fishburn said of Jonesboro. ŌĆ£I could see that at the end. We got into some early foul trouble. Our game plan, early on, was working really well.ŌĆØ
CHARLESTON -- As if Harmony Grove basketball couldnŌĆÖt get any more exciting, the senior boys proved Monday that there is no quit in them when it comes to post-season play. Winner over No. 4 Fordyce in Round 1 of the 3A State Tournament on Saturday, the Cardinals came out Monday with a win-or-go-home scenario against the No. 1 Earle Bulldogs. Looking to take a bit of the bite out of the Dogs, Harmony Grove (25-7) used more stellar defense and good guard play to upset Earle 64-61 sending the ŌĆśDogs out with an early exit.
JONESBORO ŌĆō Leading 33-29 after consecutive Braxton Chumley steals and layups late in the third quarter, the South No. 2 seed Benton Lady Panthers could muster just six more points the rest of the way and the East No. 3 seed Searcy Lady Lions ended BentonŌĆÖs season with a 53-39 victory in the quarterfinals of the 6A State Tournament in Jonesboro Monday night.
