Innovative, rigorous, policy-relevant research forms the basis for evidence-based policy solutions. High-quality research will not have impact, however, if it is not communicated to those who can use it, share it, learn from it, build upon it, and adapt it.
IFPRI's communications activities add value by helping generate and maximize the uptake of a broad range of institutional research products (outputs), contributing to changes in policies, programs, and investments (outcomes) that can ultimately lead to improved food and nutrition security, poverty reduction, and sustainable natural-resource management (impact). Communications is the driving force behind the diffusion—and ultimate adoption— of any innovation.
Target Audiences
IFPRI currently undertakes successful direct communication with the following audiences but will also forge partnerships to reach wider audiences:
- Research Community: Those who are knowledgeable about international development and interested in the research approach, the scientific methodology, and the results.
- Policy and Development Community: Those who create and influence policy and are interested in how research findings can be translated into solutions for specific problems.
- General Public: Those who are interested in learning about issues related to international development but are not specialists.
Communications Functions
The target audiences are not only recipients of IFPRI's research, but also contributors to it. These essential functions guide the process of
their contribution:
- Support the creation of knowledge at IFPRI by collecting and connecting with the knowledge of others via open data and publications repositories, collaborative team spaces, and training opportunities for researchers in the tools and techniques relevant to the scholarly communication of their work.
- Promote continuous dialogue and interaction with diverse groups of stakeholders and communities of practice to help generate knowledge that is relevant to those who can benefit from it. This interaction can take place through face-to-face and virtual policy seminars, conferences, and workshops, as well as local, regional, and international gatherings and meetings.
- Present IFPRI's research in various formats so that it is meaningful and understandable to diverse audiences. These formats include technical books, papers, reports, briefs, brochures, flagship publications, a magazine, social media, and datasets for public use. All of these materials are generally available in print and electronic form.
- Make IFPRI's knowledge freely available via multiple communications channels so that different audiences can access it, engage with it, and use it to create new knowledge. Channels include IFPRI's main website (www.ifpri.org) and its community platform (www.ifpri.info); institutional, program, and project blogs; social and academic networks; media activities; podcasts and videos; e-bookstores; libraries around the world; and translation into multiple languages.

He recommends hybrid bikes with good tread to handle the fine limestone gravel surface of the path. Although it's hard-packed in most places there is some loose sand on top and we found it a bit more challenging than riding on pavement. You should also be careful about veering too close to the edge of the trail. In many places, there are steep drop offs, in some cases down to the river's rocky edge. And in a few stretches, a spill on your bike could land you in a sea of poison ivy. You should also carry plenty of water.
Although most trail heads have water fountains and toilet facilities, not all do. If you are planning a long ride, try to avoid July and August which can be especially hot and sticky. The best time to ride, we were told, is September and October. Not only is the weather better but the brilliant fall foliage reflects on the Missouri River and you can enjoy the local Oktoberfests. Or you can go in early June and catch the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival in Sedalia. After deciding when to ride, you'll need to consider your route. To take advantage of prevailing winds, you may want to start your trip on the western end of the trail in Clinton, or Sedalia. But if time only allows you to ride half the trail, as it did us, you can pick it up in Rocheport. This section includes the only tunnel on the trail as well as the Lewis and Clark cave which is now the summer roost of endangered gray bats. (You can peak inside but you are not allowed to enter the cave.) Nearby you'll find weathered red-pigment pictographs first noted by explorers in 1819. Historical sites are clearly marked all along the trail as well as on large maps at every trail head. The maps also illustrate wildlife on the trail. We crossed paths with several animals including dozens of little lizards that scooted across the trail near the bluffs. Also be on the lookout for eagles overhead and the bright blue indigo buntings which fly in and out of the brush. Gourmet Breakfast After a day on the hot dusty trail, you'll be ready to find a room with a shower, and a hearty meal. Despite its diminutive size, Rocheport (population 208) is home to several bed and breakfasts including the spanking new Amber House just two short blocks from the Katy Trail. We didn't know there was such a thing as a gourmet breakfast, but that's part of the package at this Victorian B&B. History buffs and school teachers may prefer the School House Bed and Breakfast, around the corner. Built circa 1914, we enjoyed this 10-room Inn with its restful gardens, brick patios and fountains. For dinner, head to Les Bourgeois Vineyards on the bluffs overlooking the River. The lobster ravioli, a salad and a bottle of their Solay on the Bistro patio will make for a perfect evening. If you'd rather picnic, bring your own food and buy wine at their outdoor Winegarden which is a favorite of the younger set. The view of the sun setting over the Missouri River is not to be missed. More offbeat and intimate (only 8 tables) is Abigail's in downtown Rocheport. But check ahead for hours, as they advertise "Dinner by reservation or chance." If you want to eat without leaving the trail, try The Cracked Crab Seafood House and Oyster Bar or the Trailside Cafe & Bike Shop right at the Rocheport trail head. If you are in Rocheport on a Saturday, head over to Mighty Mo Canoe Rentals and get a guided canoe tour of the river down to Huntsdale. You can bike back on the trail or catch a shuttle. Farther east along the trail just before reaching McBaine, you can take an 8.8 mile trail spur to Columbia, the college town of the University of Missouri. Otherwise, continue on to Hartsburg and then North Jefferson. The Native Stone Winery in Jefferson City was recommended to us, but was closed the day we passed through. A word to the wise, if you travel Sunday night through Tuesday, you may find many restaurants and some wineries closed. Always call ahead. From here through Tebbetts, Mokane, and Portland, the trail winds though rich Missouri River bottomlands and lush fields of corn. In the little town of Bluffton, five miles east of Portland, you'll see dolomite bluffs towering 200 feet or more above you, some of the highest on the trail. The next trail head is at McKittrick.

Recent Approach Shoe Reviews
Salewa Men's Mountain Trainer GTX
I am a seasoned boot user, but after reading a number of opinion blogs I thought I would try a hiking shoe. The Salewa Mountain Trainer has turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. While not as comfortable on my foot as my Aslo boots are, they have proven to be a very solid shoe and I really appreciate the lighter footwear compared to my boots. The shoe fits great. While it did require a good deal of time to break in, the shoe is relatively comfortable now. I have about 100 miles on the shoes… Full review
Arc'teryx Men's Acrux FL Shoe
Like the engineering ideas, flaws in liner design. As a big fan of Arc'teryx products I was excited to see how they would reinvent the approach shoe. I liked the weight, the seamless body, the airflow, they were very comfortable. BUT, the first short hike of about three miles with no-show socks revealed that the non removable liner keeps moving around in the heel area, cutting through the skin of both my heels until blistering and bleeding. Can't return since they have been worn and the blistering… Full review
Arc'teryx Men's Acrux FL Shoe
A very impressive shoe with a design unlike any other shoe I have used previously because of the unique inner and outer construction. I would highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for a durable, light, and comfortable approach/hiking shoe. I had the opportunity to test the Arc'teryx Acrux FL (originally Alpha FL) hiking/approach shoe during the winter of 2014-2015 in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire. Fit and Comfort: Over the years I have purchased a variety of footwear. These… Full review
Five Ten Men's Camp Four
These are my go-to shoes for day hikes. I've done 1 or 2 light overnights (15-20lbs) in these when I knew it'd be dry and I would appreciate the traction due to rocky terrain. I have pretty average feet, so I'm not sure if that's why I didn't have the sizing problems the other reviewers had or not. These shoes were comfy out of the box with all the sock options I threw at them. These shoes were also very comfortable during hot Joshua Tree summer days. They vented heat really well but you sacrifice… Full review
Five Ten Men's Exum Guide
Great boot that fills the gap between Burly Backpacking Tank and Wispy Barely there Trailrunner. I'm going to get this out of the way first since it's ultimately not very important. My pair is a light gray, almost white color. The first time I wore them on a hike (16 miles up Icebox Canyon in the summer so lots of dust) they looked beat all to heck. This in no way effected their performance but it looked like they were old and beat up. I've worn them for a little bit of everything, backpacking… Full review
Five Ten Men's Guide Tennie
Got these in the Yosemite mountain shop and walked around the valley for two days taking pictures. A little scrambling to get in position for some shots of climbers on El Cap and walking the roads of the valley to get around. The salesman talked me into getting my regular size because I wasn't planning on doing any technical climbing and I'm glad he did. I strolled around and put probably ten miles on them in two days. It was a warm November 1st and 2nd (70 degrees daytime) and with summer weight… Full review
Millet Trident Guide
The details put into the design of this approach shoe shout "quality." It can be difficult finding approach shoes that fit mid to wide feet and that won't be prone to the ever-problematic "ankle roll" issues that many approach shoes seem to have. The Millet Trident series approach shoes appear to solve these issues. Perfect as a multi-activity shoe...not just dedicated to the trails. The soles are thick and will last. Full review
La Sportiva Men's Boulder X
More comfortable than the majority of other approach shoes and holds up to some strenuous wear. Let me start I by saying that even the thought of purchasing shoes online having not tried them on terrifies me. Perhaps you know the feeling too. How many experiences have you had where you see a pair of shoes online, spring for them and anxiously await their arrival only to receive them and find out that the styling isn't what you thought, the sizing is off, and the shape of the shoes doesn't… Full review
Scarpa Women's Crux
Great overall approach shoe. They do the job. Good for scrambling up rock, hiking and around town. I would highly recommend these shoes. I got back into climbing again after 15 years and was looking for a comfortable approach shoe. I was running marathons and so I'm always looking for light and roomy. My feet are pretty beat up over time. I love these shoes. They are light, comfortable, easy to scramble up rock, or just hiking and they look great for around town. They fit true to size and have… Full review

HAVELOCK – The Havelock Rams posted its second consecutive shutout in beating Swansboro 57-0 in a Coastal 3A Conference game Friday.
Playing on senior night, the Rams dominated throughout, recovering a fumble on Swansboro's first play from scrimmage and never looking back.
The Ram defense also added a safety in the second quarter and led 36-0 at halftime.
"That's a back-to-back state championship team for a reason," Swansboro coach Tim Laspada said. "They're a great coaching staff over there, probably one of the better ones in the state, and coach (Jim Bob) Bryant has them going good, and I wish them the best."
De' Andre Thompkins, who has committed to play at Penn State, battled a shoulder injury, and Laspada decided to sit him for much of the game.
Meanwhile, the top-ranked Rams (8-0, 4-0) owned good field position most of a sloppy night in which a misty rain fell through much of the first half.
Havelock quarterback Travis Sabdo threw three touchdown passes, while Matthew Boykin returned a punt 51 yards. Running backs Derrell Scott and Taylor Woods added rushing touchdowns, and Ram backups Taron Wallace and Montrece Gatling also found the end zone.
"We're not going to face a better team than that, so our kids won't be nervous to face anybody else," Laspada said. "That's a heck of a football team there."
Laspada said the Pirates (5-4, 1-3) still have a lot to play for and will look to make a run toward the playoffs starting with West Carteret next week.
"We're right in the race," he said. "We've got West Carteret at West Carteret, and we need to hold our heads up because those people (Havelock) do this to a lot of people."

AVON, Ohio -- Miami bolted to a 4-1 lead after two-and-a-half innings, but Ball State scored 12 unanswered runs for a 13-7 victory over the RedHawks in the opening game of the 2013 Mid-American Conference Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium. The outcome sends Miami into a loser's bracket game tomorrow at 12:30 against Central Michigan, which lost 15-8 to Kent State Wednesday night.
Matt Honchel, Dan Walsh and Alex Johnson each had two hits for the RedHawks, who are seeded fifth in the tournament.
For the fourth straight game, Miami (25-29) cracked the scoreboard in the first inning. With one out, Jake Romano triple to the gap in right center. The next batter, John Crummy, drove a 2-0 pitch into centerfield, putting the RedHawks up 1-0. They added a run in the second after Chad Sedio led off with a single, took second on a Nate Bowles sacrifice and scored on a ground-rule double by Dan Walsh.
Fourth-seeded Ball State (29-23) struck right back with a run in its second. A leadoff triple and infield single made the score 2-1. Miami added two runs in the top of the fourth on a two-out, single by Walsh, but the Cardinals answered. A hit batter and back-to-back singles accounted for a run, then a single after a double-play cut the margin to 4-3.
After the RedHawks were held scoreless for the first time in the fourth, Ball State took control. The Cardinals scored 10 runs over the next three innings, hitting a trio of two-run home runs. They tallied four in the fourth, two in the fifth and four more in the sixth, before Wynston McMartin pitched a scoreless seventh.
Miami closed the gap with two outs in the ninth when Johnson hit his team-high fifth home run of the year, a three-run shot over the wall in left center,
Fiala (6-6) endured his worst outing of the season, allowing 13 hits and nine runs over 4.1 innings. He did not walk a batter, while striking out three. Scott Baker, the MAC's Pitcher of the Year, settled down after a rocky start to earn his school-record 12th win of the year. He allowed four runs and nine hits before being relieved to start the ninth.
The loss ended a string of two straight years where Miami won its first two tournament games to earn a spot in the bracket final.

Ways to give: Volunteers refurbish bikes for kids

A collection of bikes fixed, cleaned and ready to go to Christmas House sits at Sharing Wheels in Everett on Wednesday.
At a work party Wednesday, volunteers went about their tasks at a purposeful pace. They refurbished rusty bike chains, installed new bicycle seats, tested brakes and fixed tires knowing their work would soon be making children smile.
"We want to get all these bikes done before Thanksgiving," said Kristi Knodell, the nonprofit organization's shop manager.
Sharing Wheels, which sells used bikes throughout the year and holds an annual kids' bike swap, gives Christmas House about 100 refurbished children's bikes each holiday season. The bikes aren't new, but helpers make them shiny and safe. "Our goal is between 50 and 150. We always hope for at least 80," Knodell said.
In one section of the shop Wednesday, a row of completed children's bikes were tagged with green safety and maintenance checklists, ready to go to the Everett-based Christmas House. That nonprofit organization, which sets up shop Dec. 1-18 at the Everett Boys & Girls Club, provides qualifying low-income parents with holiday gifts for their children.
Bike shop volunteers won't see the delight of a child surprised on Christmas morning with a like-new bike. They are cheered, though, knowing where the bikes will go.
"I always get stuck working on the pink ones," Travis Oslin joked while tinkering with a girls bike.
"This will put a smile on somebody's face," said Oslin, 29, who picked up skills working at Tim's Bike Shop in Everett. This is his fourth year helping Sharing Wheels with donations for Christmas House.
"It isn't that hard to bring a bike back to life," he said, adding that some older bikes were really built to last.
Knodell said the group's mission is "connecting unused bicycles with people who need transportation." Along with giving to Christmas House and helping kids trade up a size through bike swaps, the shop invites bike enthusiasts to use its facilities for a small fee. "People work for wheels, new cables, brake pads, things like that," she said.
It's now the holiday rush at Sharing Wheels, with bikes for kids topping the to-do list.
Published in today's Herald is our annual Ways to Give list, including dozens of organizations that help people in need. Those able to share will find close-to-home opportunities to help others this holiday season.
Behind each organization listed are caring individuals. The helpers at Sharing Wheels -- where a final pre-holiday work party will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the shop at 2525 Broadway -- are only a few of many in our communities acting in the season's true spirit.
Their generosity shows the power of one person to affect the lives of many. Not all charitable giving is the work of a big nonprofit organization. Schools, workplaces, religious groups and clubs all step up and reach out.
Kathy Leon is a member of the Gold Wing Touring Association, Chapter C. That's a motorcycle group, not a charity. Yet every year, her Everett-based chapter gathers new stuffed animals, other small toys, children's clothing and coats for Christmas House.
The drop-off site, Tuesdays through Saturdays, is Everett Powersports, 215 SW Everett Mall Way in Everett. There, "Charlie" the stuffed bear calls attention to a big blue donation bin. The toy and clothing drive runs through Dec. 10.
A Gold Wing is a big Honda touring bike. Leon, 67, said the Gold Wing Touring Association is a nationwide group with a strong presence in Washington. She and her husband, Carl, live in north Seattle, but have long been in the Everett chapter.
They meet at an Everett restaurant and take rides and longer trips with other members. Motorcycle travels have taken them as far as Nova Scotia. "When my husband and I retired in 2005, we went all over the United States. They're real comfortable bikes," she said.
Everett Powersports general manager Mike Leibold supports the local Gold Wing chapter's charitable efforts. Around the country, Gold Wing groups raise money through their Ride for Kids, benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
"And every chapter has its own charity. Five or six years ago, we decided Christmas House needed our help," Leon said.
Already, her guest bedroom is full of toys and clothing to be delivered when Christmas House opens its doors. "It's fun to work together as a chapter," Leon said. Each year, group members dress in their royal blue shirts to volunteer for a shift at Christmas House, helping parents as they pick out their children's gifts.
"There are hundreds and hundreds of other volunteers," Leon said.
It's touching, she said, to see the gratitude of a parent as they get a few gifts and maybe a winter coat for a child. "A lot of them don't have money for bare necessities," Leon said.
Some children will be lucky to find a shiny, refurbished bicycle from Sharing Wheels.
"After helping out here last year, I became a bit of a regular," Tony Simonelli said at the Sharing Wheels work party. The Everett man volunteered Wednesday with his 16-year-old daughter, Anna Simonelli. "It's every little kid's dream," the teen said of finding a shiny bike on Christmas morning.
"We try to get them spruced up a little bit," said Sharing Wheels volunteer Tim Armstrong.
In the busy workshop, those dream bikes were lined up, ready for delivery. Some have glittery paint and cool names: "Next Miniscreamer," "Hot Wheels Racing Team" and "Magna Maui Miss."
Gifts go both ways. In giving her time and gathering donations, Leon finds meaning and community.
"When we work those Christmas House shifts, we really realize the impact we have. When you find the perfect gift for someone and put it in their basket, you feel like, wow, they're going to have a nice Christmas," Leon said. "That's where we get our jollies."

The moral circle seems to disappear if I think of it as restricted to one individual, myself. It is commonsense that others have interests and that I ought to take them into account when deciding how to act. For my goals are intertwined with others' goals. If I am to be successful in earning a doctoral degree, my professor must succeed, at a minimum, in acknowledging my progress by accurately recording my grades. I will not succeed in my objectives if my lab partner does not complete his part of the project or if the university chancellor lets our accreditation lapse.
We have common interests in virtue of the fact that we are social creatures. I am a brother, a coach, a friend, a confidant. In these roles, my interests cannot be understood, cannot even be described, in terms restricted to me. As a friend, family member, and professional, I cannot satisfy my own interests without trying to help others satisfy theirs. That is what it means to be a good teacher or an adept research assistant. We are bound up with those we love and work alongside. And bound up is the right metaphor here. Our interests are literally tied to others' interests by promises and agreements, understandings implicit and explicit.
Every ethical theory--or at least every one that accords with commonsense--takes our social roles into account. Contractualism explains not only why our mutual interests are significant. It also explain the implications that follow. The implications include this one: young professionals must study and follow their group's code of conduct.

Joe Paterno and the Truth Right In Front of Our Eyes
We are biased to believe in the innocence of those we admire -- even when they have blood on their hands
We are biased to believe in the innocence of those we admire -- even when they have blood on their hands
We're all going to die and we all know it. This can be both a burden and a blessing.
In the heart of every parent lives the tightly coiled nightmare that his child will die. It might spring at logical times—when a toddler runs into the street, say—or it might sneak up in quieter moments. The fear is a helpful evolutionary motivation for parents to protect their children, but it's haunting nonetheless.
The ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus advised parents to indulge that fear. "What harm is it, just when you are kissing your little child, to say: Tomorrow you will die?" he wrote in his Discourses.
Some might say Epictetus was an asshole. William Irvine thinks he was on to something.
"The Stoics had the insight that the prospect of death can actually make our lives much happier than they would otherwise be," he says. "You're supposed to allow yourself to have a flickering thought that someday you're going to die, and someday the people you love are going to die. I've tried it, and it's incredibly powerful. Well, I am a 21st-century practicing Stoic."
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
People look to Amy Schumer and her fellow jokers not just to make fun of the world, but to make sense of it. And maybe even to help fix it.
This week, in a much-anticipated sketch on her Comedy Central show, Amy Schumer staged a trial of Bill Cosby in "the court of public opinion." Schumer—her character, at any rate—played the role of the defense. "Let's remind ourselves what's at stake here," she argued to the jury. "If convicted, the next time you put on a rerun of The Cosby Show you may wince a little. Might feel a little pang. And none of us deserve that. We don't deserve to feel that pang."
Her conclusion? "We deserve to dance like no one's watching, and watch like no one's raping."
Ooof. This is the kind of thing that gets Inside Amy Schumer referred to as "the most feminist show on television," and her act in general called, in a phrase that reveals as much about her craft as about Schumer herself, "comedy with a message." But while Schumer's work is operating at the vanguard of popular comedy, it's also in line with the work being done by her fellow performers: jokes that tend to treat humor not just as an end in itself, but as a vehicle for making a point. Watch like no one's raping.
Can a political system be democratically legitimate without being democratic?
The flaws in China's political system are obvious. The government doesn't even make a pretense of holding national elections and punishes those who openly call for multiparty rule. The press is heavily censored and the Internet is blocked. Top leaders are unconstrained by the rule of law. Even more worrisome, repression has been ramped up since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, suggesting that the regime is increasingly worried about its legitimacy.
Some China experts—most recently David Shambaugh of George Washington University—interpret these ominous signs as evidence that the Chinese political system is on the verge of collapse. But such an outcome is highly unlikely in the near future. The Communist Party is firmly in power, its top leader is popular, and no political alternative currently claims widespread support. And what would happen if the Party's power did indeed crumble? The most likely result, in my view, would be rule by a populist strongman backed by elements of the country's security and military forces. The new ruler might seek to buttress his legitimacy by launching military adventures abroad. President Xi would look tame by comparison.
Some spoiler-y speculation on the final three episodes
With only three episodes left to go, Game of Thrones looks as though it once again has a lot of ground to cover before wrapping up a season. And so, for the curious and impatient among you, I'll do my best to offer some quasi-informed speculation about what we might reasonably expect in these final weeks.
Note: I haven't seen any of the remaining episodes, but I have read the books. The first five items below are spoiler-y, but the predictions in them do not derive from the George R. R. Martin novels. Rather, they're guesswork based on what's already happened on the show and on tidbits scattered across the web: a behind-the-scenes photo here, a close-read of a trailer there. (They could all, of course, turn out to be completely wrong.) The last four items, however, are based at least in part on events that take place in A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, so non-book-readers may want to skip them. And obviously anyone, book-reader or not, who'd prefer to go into these final episodes without preconceptions—who doesn't want to know at least some of what will (probably) happen—should stop reading now.
Caves and tunnels have always been part of human life.
The former speaker of the House is charged with lying to federal agents and evading financial reporting requirements, reportedly while attempting to conceal past sexual misconduct.
Updated on May 29, 2015, at 4:05 p.m.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has been indicted on charges of lying to FBI agents and evading federal financial-reporting requirements, reportedly while paying a man to cover up past sexual misconduct.
Hastert, an Illinois Republican, was speaker from 1999 to 2007. BuzzFeed's John Stanton notes that there were several high-profile congressional scandals in those years. Illinois is also a notorious hotbed for political corruption, as Roland Burris, Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, and Jesse Jackson Jr. can attest.
But Hastert's indictment seems to involve a darker story than political corruption. In or about 2010, according to the indictment, Hastert—a former high-school teacher and coach—met with an unnamed individual from Yorkville, Hastert's hometown. They "discussed past misconduct by defendant against Individual A that had occurred years earlier." In effect, Hastert fell victim to blackmail, the indictment alleges: He "agreed to provide Individual A $3.5 million in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against Individual A." (Since leaving the House, Hastert has become a highly paid lobbyist.)
The danger of uploading one's consciousness to a computer without a suicide switch
Imagine a supercomputer so advanced that it could hold the contents of a human brain. The Google engineer Ray Kurzweil famously believes that this will be possible by 2045. Organized technologists are seeking to transfer human personalities to non-biological carriers, "extending life, including to the point of immortality." My gut says that they'll never get there. But say I'm wrong. Were it possible, would you upload the contents of your brain to a computer before death, extending your conscious moments on this earth indefinitely? Or would you die as your ancestors did, passing into nothingness or an unknown beyond human comprehension?
The promise of a radically extended lifespan, or even immortality, would tempt many. But it seems to me that they'd be risking something very much like hell on earth.
This week, we have photos of the oppressive heatwave in India, a high walkway made of musical glass planks in China, an aerial view of Chicago at night, rescued baby iguanas in Costa Rica, the 88th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee, and much more.
A challenge based on four words of the law amounts to little more than politics dressed up as a legal argument.
The Supreme Court is about to decide another blockbuster case arising under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The specific issue is whether federal-tax subsidies are available to people who purchase health insurance from exchanges operated by the federal government or instead whether such subsidies are available only from exchanges established by the states. A decision in favor of the plaintiffs in King v. Burwell would most likely cripple the ACA in over thirty states and deprive millions of people of health insurance.
That the Supreme Court even agreed to hear the case is the result of an improbable conjunction of events. Two committed opponents of the ACA seized upon four words of the law out of almost 1000 pages, and through their persistent and energetic work, created a powerful soundbite that appealed to die-hard opponents of the ACA. They then took that sound bite and dressed it up in highly technical arguments about statutory interpretation that might well change how healthcare is paid for in the United States. But the soundbite is inaccurate, and the technical window dressing shouldn't obscure the fact that the argument is based on a faulty reading of the text of the entire law as well as a misleading account of how and why the law was passed. At bottom, King v. Burwell is a political challenge to the ACA dressed up in legal garb.
An illustration of mankind's creativity when it comes to killing
Imagine a world where everyone sleeps well, because no one sleeps together.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Throughout five decades of federal service at the Naval Research Laboratory, Peter Wilhelm has been involved in the development, deployment and operation of satellites critical to the nation's defense and intelligence gathering capabilities.
Now at age 74, Wilhelm, director of NRL's Naval Center for Space Technology, is seeking to create an international consortium to launch micro satellites to keep track of all ships on earth at one time. He is also working on solving the problem of orbital debris.
Wilhelm said he's pleased to be a SAMMIE Award finalist. It's a "great honor" but " when you're in the business that we're in, designing and building satellites, it's a team game."
"I don't think that most people know that the government, and in particular the Navy, is as involved in space as we are. So that recognition, I think, is a good thing."
Asked for his secret to success, Wilhelm made it sound simple.
"Try and get into something that you're really interested in. And there are lots of opportunities in federal service. It's a very broad field."
It's like our elders told us: if you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
"If you can get into a job that you really enjoy," said Wilhelm, "you're going to do well at it, and that's the best advice I could give anybody. Don't just go after the money. Find a job that you really like and you'll do well."
Wilhelm said now that he's 74 and has been a part of launching 95 satellites, he's still working on "several more. In fact my boss told me I can't retire until I get to a hundred."
He didn't say whether that was years or birds.
Either way, he laughed as he said "that's my goal."

Selena Gomez Worried 'Spring Breakers' Sends the Wrong Message
Selena Gomez is asking the parents of her young fans to skip her new movie, "Spring Breakers," because it's too racy. In a recent interview with MTV News, the former Disney darling said she's stepping "out of her comfort zone" for the upcoming flick. She's also been stepping out of the "breakup zone" after her split from Justin Bieber by posting a flurry of sexy photos on Twitter. See what you're missing, Justin? So, could "Spring Breakers" tarnish Selena's good-girl image?

Women's Soccer Takes Care of Barton with 3-0 Shutout Win on Tuesday
September 20, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Putting up a season-high 15 shots on goal, Pfeiffer University was able to convert three into goals scoring a 3-0 shutout victory over Barton College in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Tuesday afternoon. The win marks the eighth-straight win in as many years for the Lady Falcons against the Lady Bulldogs improving 3-4 overall, 2-1 in league play, while Barton falls to 2-3, 2-2.
Pfeiffer needed just 66 seconds to jump on the board early in the first as Sheena Regan (Chesapeake, VA) pushed a long pass ahead to Ashley Harrington (Albemarle, NC) who found the back of the net inside the left post for a 1-0 lead. That margin would stand through the rest of the half as the Lady Falcons defense didnt allow a single Lady Bulldog shot in the first 45 minutes.
Just before the hour in the 59th minute, Tish Patino (East Bend, NC) would take a rebound allowed by Barton keeper Carson Moore (Greenville, NC) and register her first of the season also left post for a two-goal advantage. Insurance in the 64th minute came as Alex Cook (Commack, NY) put home her first as the play began in the corner. Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI) touched the corner kick in over to Megan Weston (Olathe, KS) who delivered the cross to Cook in front of the net for the goal.
Pfeiffer took 29 shots on the day, 15 on cage while holding Barton to just three. Two of the Lady Bulldog shots were fired on goal by sophomore Taylor Parrish (Smithfield, NC). Moore turned away a dozen shots in goal for Barton.
Three days off now await the Lady Falcons before bouncing back into league play on homecoming Saturday at N.E. Lefko Field. Pfeiffer will host Lees-McRae for a 2:00 p.m. kickoff with live stats available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The Fox Float 29 was fine tuned by Fox to provide a comfortable ride for big wheeled bikes. The Float 29 has superior stiffness in order to counteract the larger wheelbase flex. To ensure buttery smooth cycling, the uppers are Kashima coated. Kashima coating is a hard anodizing process that fills in any micro pores in the material creating a smoother surface, in comparison to a hard anodization on prior versions. Its distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes including extreme durability as well as an extremely smooth feel. The whole purpose and value of the Kashima coating is its friction reduction properties. For 2014, Fox worked to refine their Float series. The Float's now weigh less than prior years and have a much stiffer feel, due to the improved spring curve.
The Fox Float 29 features the FIT cartridge. FIT stands for Fox Isolated Technology. FIT technology employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes.
The Fox Float features Fox's CTD technology. CTD is short for Climb, Trail, and Descend. It is a three position on the fly system that provides three distinct compression dampings that you'd typically need on an average ride. CTD is extremely useful on the trail. The rider is quickly able to flip the lever between the three positions, and which results in being used numerously throughout the ride. CTD is much faster than the older click system, where the rider would have to stop and click through to find the proper setting.
Climb mode has the firmest low- speed compression, which maximizes pedaling efficiency and has minimal suspension movement. Internally, the oil flow is restricted, and can only flow through the Climb port, which limits the suspension's movement. In the event of a hard impact, the spring loaded blow- off valve will allow the damper to go into its travel. Trail mode provides an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and control on variable terrain. The oil flow is opened to the mid and high speed compression shim stack. Descend mode provides the rider with the most active suspension. Descend mode is an optimized low- speed compression setting which provides the perfect balance of control and plushness for steep, aggressive descents. Oil is able to flow through the high, mid, and low speed ports.
This version of the Float 29 comes with the remote. Attach the remote to the handlebar and easily switch through the CTD modes. Link your Fox rear suspension to the lever as well, and enjoy matched front and rear settings. This makes it easy to change the bike's suspension characteristics on- the- fly. The remote has been completely redesigned. It is now much smaller, and requires less energy to activate. The sleek and refined design is also more aesthetically pleasing.
Climb, Trail, and Descend mode technology will change the way you ride. CTD makes it easier for the rider to adjust their fork to adapt to the terrain ahead.

Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase based their 1970 design of ITC Avant Garde Gothic on Lubalins logo for Avant Garde Magazine. The condensed fonts were designed for the International Typeface Corporation in 1974 by Ed Benguiat. ITC Avant Garde Gothic is a geometric sans serif type, that is, the basic shapes were made with a compass and T-square; the design is reminiscent of the work from the 1920s German Bauhaus movement. Letterforms built of circles and clean lines are highly effective for headlines and short texts. The condensed faces have the same modern look, while retaining legibility in lengthier texts.
Optical Size:
This face is designed to used at a text size of 12.0 points.
