Let me give you a little background info: this is the first wedding in 3 years that I haven't been able to shoot. Well, minus one more, of which the bride (Jayme) now works with us. Sometimes things are out of your hands and as hard as it is, you have to hand it over to someone you trust. This past weekend, I did just that. All week I had told Betsy that I would be there. Then Thursday hit, and I realized that for not only my sake and my kidney's sake, the bed rest that the doctor put me on had to be done. So, after a phone call and hysteria, Dana said in her calming voice, "I'll be ok. You get well and we'll make it." So, I called Alisa Lynn, beautiful photog and friend from Clanton, and asked her to cover until Dana got there. And she did. And for one day, I was calm and knew that they would work their magic. I knew that Betsy was in the best hands she could be in if she couldn't be in mine, so I swallowed hard and believed in them. And boy, did they do a fab job. I haven't seen Alisa's photos yet. But these that Dana shot below, are just wonderful. It doesn't hurt that you have a beautiful bride who's hair absolutely glistened and a groom with a smile the size of Texas, of course. But Dana did a great job capturing them. Hands down.
I downloaded the cards for my editing job and just ooohhhed and ahhhhhed. The colors that Betsy chose, and the scenery was just drop-dead gorgeous. The wedding was held at her aunt's house in Georgianna and the reception was held at Greenville. From what I hear, Captain Morgan (aka- crazy groomsman) made an appearance, as did the Heisman Trophy Winner (aka-another crazy groomsmen). Oh…can't forget the most handsome man in the world (Betsy's dad). Y'all made Dana and Alisa feel so at home. I want to thank y'all for that and for understanding that if I could have been there, I would have. At least I can edit for ya' huh? That's kind of like being there in a not being there kind of way. Anyway, Betsy, you're just a wonderful person, and I hope Kevin knows what a prize he took home on Saturday. Thank you Dana- you're my right arm. Thank you Alisa- you're my peace.

It's something I do definitely miss on Windows Phone, simply because I (obviously) don't have all apps on the Start screen. It also seems odd that third-party apps like WhatsApp Messenger don't appear on the lock screen.
With the inclusion of live tiles, a notification center would be redundant functionality.

2001 Peugeot 206 LX 1.4 petrol
A bit expensive for what it is
The car was first purchased in August this year, so it's about 3 months old.
Well, the first fault already is that it has got an electrical fault where all brake lights stay on at all times.
Second fault is that when starting the engine from cold it makes an awful noise, but goes quiet when the engine is warmed up.
General Comments:
Apart from the faults, the car is OK and I don't think I will go back to Peugeot for another new car.
The car is economical.
I think the car could be a little more roomy than it is.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The Time is Now For Andrew Buie
Change is clearly in the air over at the Milan Puskar Center. Downstairs, construction work continues on the brand new weight room that should be good to go sometime later this summer.
Upstairs, the Mountaineers are getting ready for another football season without No. 1, No. 3 and No. 12 hanging around the complex - those three guys, of course, being Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and Geno Smith.
Guys graduate, leave early for the pro draft and move on – that's part of life. Another part of life is for their supporting cast to step up, assume a much greater role and make their mark in the program.
And junior running back Andrew Buie is one of those supporting players whose time is now. The Jacksonville, Fla., resident had a pretty solid sophomore campaign in 2012, running for 851 yards and scoring seven touchdowns while ranking ninth in the Big 12 with an average of 65.5 yards per game.
He ran for a career-high 207 yards and scored two TDs in West Virginia's big road win at Texas and he also finished the regular season with a 100-yard, two-touchdown effort in West Virginia's blowout victory over Kansas.
In between, there were other positive efforts against Texas Tech (71 yards) and Oklahoma State (53 yards) as well as some pedestrian performances against TCU (40 yards) and Iowa State (23 yards). Buie actually took a backseat to Austin in the Oklahoma and Iowa State games, watching the wide receiver run for a school-record 344 yards against the Sooners as a mid-game running back replacement and then watching him play most of the following week's game against the Cyclones in the backfield as well.
Now, it's Buie's turn.
"We went through a whole off-season program and that was pretty much the lesson of our story – adapt and change. Change is going to happen. Can you adapt? It's the ones that can't adapt that get left behind," Buie told a coterie of reporters earlier this spring. "We knew change was going to happen and we knew it was not going to be the same team that it was last year, so we know we have to work that much harder, and we know we still have a long road ahead of us."
Getting down that path might actually be a lot easier for the guys in the program this year because they don't have The Big Three to lean on, plus, they also understand that very little is expected of them. For a WVU football program that is used to winning – and winning big – that's much more effective than hearing a bunch of motivational speeches from their coaches.
"Teams are still not going to respect us because they don't see 12, 1 or 3 anymore," said Buie. "I feel like if we continue to stick together and work hard we're going to be where we need to be when the season comes around."
Sometimes, less-talented teams can out play more-talented teams simply by sticking together and working for a common cause. Whether or not that happens this year remains to be seen, but Buie does believe this group of Mountaineer players will be much closer than last year's.
"Guys care about each other more," he said. "It matters to them more to see the guy next to them fail, versus last year people may have been like, well, I'm still doing well so whatever. It feels like we're all at the bottom fighting and we all want our respect, so that makes us all draw together because none of us have our respect yet."
That includes Buie, who has accumulated 1,400 all-purpose yards and scored eight touchdowns in 24 career games for the Mountaineers. He has played at Texas, he's played against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, TCU and the rest of the Big 12, and he played in the 2012 Orange Bowl against Clemson, so he knows what it's all about. Now it's on him to impart some of that wisdom on the rest of his teammates.
That means when things are not going well – as it often does during a long football season – he has an obligation to help pick up the players who are struggling and get them through it.
"The biggest thing is you try to keep a guy from getting down on himself too much because a lot of guys put a lot of pressure on (themselves) to step into that spotlight," he said. "It's a lot of pressure, especially coming out of high school or coming off a redshirt. Whereas last year you only worried about just getting better, now you have to go from being a kid to stepping up and being the man of the house.
"That's how it is and some guys put a lot of pressure on themselves, so the biggest thing is you've got to let them know you are going to have your good days and you are going to have your bad days, but it's the bad days that you have to work through and get better," he added.
Buie went through something similar last year as a sophomore. In fact, he said whenever he pops in last year's game tapes it surprises him how much growth he experienced during the course of the season.
"That's the craziest thing," he admitted. "To watch myself from the beginning of the season to the back I had become toward the end of the season … I was a totally different kid, but it's the experience that got me there. I just try to take what I learned and try and help (my teammates) speed up the process to get them playing at a higher level faster - knowing when to be patient, knowing when to hit it, or on this play you are looking for this read … just small stuff that helped me play faster."
Buie believes he is in a pretty good place right now at this point in his career.
"I feel like I am to a point where I can play pretty fast and understand what's going on to where when a play is called I'm not thinking about what I've got to do," he explained. "The process has just changed. It's gone from, what do I need to do to how I need to get it done now."
More generally, he's gone from being a kid playing football for the Mountaineers (perhaps a little earlier than he probably should have) to a man about to be playing football for the Mountaineers this fall.
"I did a lot of growing up over these last couple of years. Some of this stuff you can only get with time," he explained. "I try to let a lot of the younger kids know all the experiences and stuff I've been through so they can get better down the road.
"That's the ultimate goal."

Does "science" make you moral?
- Details
- Category: Publications
- Published on Wednesday, 28 August 2013 13:05
From the Abstract: Previous work has noted that science stands as an ideological force insofar as the answers it offers to a variety of fundamental questions and concerns; as such, those who pursue scientific inquiry have been shown to be concerned with the moral and social ramifications of their scientific endeavors. No studies to date have directly investigated the links between exposure to science and moral or prosocial behaviors. Across four studies, both naturalistic measures of science exposure and experimental primes of science led to increased adherence to moral norms and more morally normative behaviors across domains....These studies demonstrated the morally normative effects of lay notions of science. Thinking about science leads individuals to endorse more stringent moral norms and exhibit more morally normative behavior. These studies are the first of their kind to systematically and empirically test the relationship between science and morality. The present findings speak to this question and elucidate the value-laden outcomes of the notion of science.
The findings are summarized in a Scientific American presentation: "Just Thinking about Science Triggers Moral Behavior: Just Thinking about Science Triggers Moral Behavior: Psychologists find deep connection between scientific method and morality" by Piercarlo Valdesolo.
The spread of medical innovations
- Details
- Category: Hugo's blog
- Published on Tuesday, 23 July 2013 09:23
- Written by Hugo Mercier
Atul Gawande has an interesting article in the New Yorker about the spread of medical innovations. He points out some striking disparities in the speed at which medical innovations spread -- mere months for anesthetics, decades for aseptic surgery. He offers some interesting pointers to understand these disparities. This is a fascinating topic for an epidemiology of representations to tackle (possibly with life-saving practical consequences).
Simultaneously, an article coming out in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings might help explain and justify the slow spread of (some) medical practices. Reviewing 10 years of the New England Journal of Medicine, the authors find that a substantial number of the articles suggest that the current practice is in fact ineffective or even deleterious. In the case of standards of care, more articles reversed the current practices than reafirmed them! Given that the practices reviewed were modern ones, supposedly introduced based on scientific evidence, this might explain some doctors' reluctance to accept new practices sold to them as evidence based.

Did the Neandertals speak?
- Details
- Category: Publications
- Published on Wednesday, 10 July 2013 17:49
In an open access article, "On the antiquity of language: the reinterpretation of Neandertal linguistic capacities and its consequences" published in Frontiers in Language Sciences, that challenges received views on the evolution of language and its time depth, Dan Dediu and Stephen Levinson, both from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen argue that the Neandertals had linguistics capacities similar to those of modern humans.
The abstract: "It is usually assumed that modern language is a recent phenomenon, coinciding with the emergence of modern humans themselves. Many assume as well that this is the result of a single, sudden mutation giving rise to the full "modern package." However, we argue here that recognizably modern language is likely an ancient feature of our genus pre-dating at least the common ancestor of modern humans and Neandertals about half a million years ago. To this end, we adduce a broad range of evidence from linguistics, genetics, paleontology, and archaeology clearly suggesting that Neandertals shared with us something like modern speech and language. This reassessment of the antiquity of modern language, from the usually quoted 50,000–100,000 years to half a million years, has profound consequences for our understanding of our own evolution in general and especially for the sciences of speech and language. As such, it argues against a saltationist scenario for the evolution of language, and toward a gradual process of culture-gene co-evolution extending to the present day. Another consequence is that the present-day linguistic diversity might better reflect the properties of the design space for language and not just the vagaries of history, and could also contain traces of the languages spoken by other human forms such as the Neandertals."

"…The best historical example of the two stages of the identification of the problem/opportunity and the generation of a solution is that of Joseph Biro, the inventor of the ballpoint pen. As a journalist, he considered the fountain pens of the early twentieth century inadequate for his work. As he watched some children in Buenos Aires playing with marbles on the wet tarmac, he noticed that these left a trail on the ground as they rolled. Reasoning by analogy, he had the idea of a sphere that could guide the ink inside a pen. He patented the idea, which was developed and led to the creation of the ballpoint pen. Individual and social cognitive psychology is able to study the various stages of an innovative process. Creativity and problem solving are not the only possible subjects of cognitive analysis, so is the more socio-economic dimension, like the reasons that make a new product an innovation, because they manage to satisfy latent needs; the cognitive mechanisms of comprehension, acceptance and choice of a new product; the propensity to innovate, seen in the light of the representation of the risk and the decision-making activity of the innovating agent, etc."

The 'gratitude trap' where Hungarian patients keep falling

Under this respect, all institutions do (at least) two things: present incentives, and induce strategies (by making it plausible to calculate what the other agents are likely to do). The problem, which Rothstein's broad approach certainly did not overlook, is that different institutions may fulfill these two tasks in dramatically different ways. This became immediately clear to me when I realized (by accident, literally speaking) how widespread and yet ill-defined is the rule system governing the invisible market economy flourishing at the margins of the Hungarian state health system.
But first let me quickly introduce the accident that set everything in motion.

deadline: May the 26th., 2013.
The goal of this project is to investigate the influence of evolved human psychology on social processes typical of modern, large-scale societies. This work will focus on such topics as the design of institutions and their reliance on evolved preferences for cooperation; perceptions of markets and our social exchange psychology; how our "intuitive sociology" is based on evolved small-group interaction; how an evolved psychology of dominance and power is relevant to understanding modern politics; how political programs recruit intuitive moral understandings; etc. Some possible directions of research are described in a summary of the grant proposal. Knowledge of French is not required.
Candidates should have pursued doctoral research in a relevant field in psychology, anthropology, economics or political science. If you are interested, please send Pascal Boyer a CV and relevant publications (or links) as well as a short letter of motivation describing how you would envisage your contribution to this programme.

Quantitative history of emotional words in the English language

- Category: News
- Published on Sunday, 24 March 2013 14:46
- Written by Olivier Morin
We report here trends in the usage of "mood" words, that is, words carrying emotional content, in 20th century English language books, using the data set provided by Google that includes word frequencies in roughly 4% of all books published up to the year 2008. We find evidence for distinct historical periods of positive and negative moods, underlain by a general decrease in the use of emotion-related words through time. Finally, we show that, in books, American English has become decidedly more "emotional" than British English in the last half-century, as a part of a more general increase of the stylistic divergence between the two variants of English language.

Why do mathematicians always agree?

Question: How can you spot an extrovert mathematician?
Answer: He looks at YOUR shoes when he talks to you.
Is mathematics "less social" than other academic disciplines? Some support for a 'yes' answer can be found in a recent piece of news. A famous mathematician, Nelson, had claimed to give a proof of a rather surprising proposition: "Peano Arithmetic is inconsistent." Two other famous mathematicians, Tao and Tausk, said the proof included one specific mistake, which they spelled out. Nelson's reaction was: "Ah, you're right. So I have not proven that Peano Arithmetics is inconsistent". End of the story. No fight, no disagreement, no formation of alternative schools of thoughts, no playing with how to interpret this or that claim. Just plain boring consensus.
(These are the axioms that Nelson claimed were inconsistent. They are supposed to express central propositions true of our system of natural numbers with addition. They are used to prove things about an object that is central in many cultures.)
Mathematics is full of that: easily achieved consensus. Everybody agrees. No debate, and yet, the consensus is not socially induced in any standard way.
In a recent blog post, The (in)consistency of PA and consensus in mathematics, Catarina Novaes takes this as a nice illustration of some points made by philosopher Jody Azzouni, who argues that mathematics is unique as a social practice.

Is the moral-economic fallacy universal?

- Written by Pascal Boyer
It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.
Until recently, I thought this very simple point had become commonsense, at least in educated circles. But then, at a recent dinner in pleasant and civilized company, as I was reflecting how it is such a Good Thing that we have the likes of Samsung, Google and Apple battling it out and giving us ever better products, several people turned to me and said something like: "Poor lamb, are you really that naive? Do you really think they're trying to make stuff for your benefit? Don't you know all these people ever want is to make more profit?"
Let us call this the moral-economic fallacy, the notion that the moral tenor of motives for economic action (people want to have more for themselves, which seems both "natural" and not very virtuous) contaminates, so to speak, the effects of such economic action, which cannot really be positive if their are rooted in base motives.
The moral-economic fallacy seems widespread. In a recent draft paper, Amit Bhattacharjee and colleagues report that people intuitively associate profit and social harm. As they say, "otherwise identically-described organizations are seen as providing less value and doing more harm when described as "for-profit" rather than non- profit […] Study 4 demonstrates that people hold a zero-sum conception of profit". The ever prolific Bryan Caplan posted an economist's comment on these striking results.
Here I am more interested in the psychological makeup involved: What triggers this kind of belief? From an evolutionary cognitive standpoint, I can see two conflicting perspectives on the question.

4 Post-doc and 4 PhDs on 'Knowledge and Culture' in the Netherlands

In various domains of cognitive science, a new paradigm holds that humans and non-human animals are born with a small set of hard-wired cognitive abilities that are task-specific, language-independent, and non-species-specific. These core knowledge systems are innate cognitive skills that have the capacity for building mental representations of objects, persons, spatial relationships, numerosity, and social interaction. In addition to core knowledge systems, humans possess species-specific, uniquely human abilities such as language and music. The 'core knowledge' paradigm challenges scholars in the humanities to ask the question how nurture and culture build on nature. This project examines the way in which innate, non specifically human, core knowledge systems for object representation, number, and geometry constrain cultural expressions in music, language, and the visual arts. In this research program, four domains of the humanities will be investigated from the point of view of core knowledge: (1) music cognition; (2) language and number; (3) visual arts and geometry; (4) poetry, rhythm, and meter. (Full description of the project here.)

Banaji investigated how children and adults view religious doctrinal and faith statements. They made a psychological distinction between three kinds of beliefs: factual beliefs (beliefs concerning states of affairs, of things that are believed to be true in some objective sense); preference-based beliefs (incorporating cognitive appraisals, and varying across individuals and contexts), and ideology-based beliefs (such as religious beliefs) which contain elements of both fact and preference.

In this essay we are going to look at how the psychoanalytic and behavioural approaches differ in the treatment of abnormal behaviour
Extracts from this document...
In this essay we are going to look at how the psychoanalytic and behavioural approaches differ in the treatment of abnormal behaviour The word "abnormal" means deviating from the norm. Defining abnormality is no easy task but this does not mean that the phenomenon of abnormality does not exist. In every society people recognise and label behaviours and people, that they consider to be abnormal. Sometimes there is a general agreement about assigning the label "abnormal" to behaviours of types of thinking - at other times people disagree about whether or not the label "abnormal" should be applied. In ancient times the Egyptians, Greeks and Hebrews generally took the view that deviation from the normal could be attributed to the work of good or bad spirits. The Social Conformity approach to defining abnormality is the idea that a behaviour is abnormal if it does not conform to what society expects. It is not just a matter of what the person does, behaviour which is considered normal in one situation might be considered outrageous or ridiculous in another. Definitions of abnormal behaviour also vary from culture to culture, some cultures will accept and tolerate behaviour which would be considered totally unacceptable by another. ...read more.
and rather expensive to get. Other techniques within the psychoanalytical approach are; Transactional Analysis and Psychodrama. Transactional Analysis is based on a book by Eric Berne "Games People Play" written in 1964. The purpose of Transactional Analysis is that if suggests most human interactions involve social games. In this therapy the adult will either act childlike (id) or like a stern parent (superego) or a sensible adult (ego). With Transactional Analysis the therapist helps the patients become more aware of the three components of their personality and to understand and recognise when they behave as the child/parent/adult. Psychodrama was developed in 1971 by J L Moreno, this technique encourages clients to act out their feelings, they dramatise their emotional attitudes instead of merely verbalising them, this allows a clearer insight into the cause of the disorders, this technique is often used with marriage counselling and teenagers, the advantage of this is that several patients can be treated at the one time. After a Psychodrama, therapist and patient discuss what they have learned. Now that we have looked at Psychoanalysis lets look at another approach. ...read more.
a parent could modify this behaviour is to take away the pocket money until they do start to tidy their room and once this system is in place, re-introduce the pocket money. Another technique used in Behaviour Modification is Token Economy, the required behaviour is rewarded with tokens which can then be exchanged for something the person wants. This particular technique is used with people suffering from anorexia, when they eat a certain amount of food they may be allowed a certain magazine, or item of clothing. Now that we have an in depth knowledge of both approaches lets look at how they differ and how they are also similar in their treatments. "The behaviourist approach can be contrasted with psychoanalytical approach because it focuses on the unwanted, overt behaviours rather than the internal unconscious underlying causes on mental disorders" (PSYCHODYNAMIC vs BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY HANDOUT) Behaviourist approach focuses mainly on the behavioural problem itself rather than the historical reason for its development as the Psychoanalytic approach does. How they are similar is that they give the patient an insight as to how to cope maturely with their disorder. As we can see both approaches have different focuses on their treatments for abnormal behaviour 1 ...read more.

TU Football Conducts Saturday Scrimmage
March 31, 2012
The temperature soared into the mid-70's, and the team battled through the heat for 24 drives that lasted an hour and 30 minutes.
"We wanted to get a lot of work in today, so we pushed it for about an hour and a half," head coach Bill Blankenship said. "I really thought that defensively we came out a little stronger. I was really pleased with the intensity the defense had for the most part.
"We had some big plays offensively. Kalen Henderson got in the end zone. We had some big plays with Trey Watts. Then we started trying to work some younger guys, and we didn't move the ball very well with those guys. I felt really good overall about the defense."
The defense dominated play in the early going, holding the offense scoreless in the first nine drives.
Quarterback Kalen Henderson led the offense to its first score of the scrimmage on the 10th drive. The team started from the 30-yard line, and Henderson connected on passes to H-back Willie Carter for 15 yards and tailback Trey Watts for 19 yards to lead the team into the defensive territory.
Henderson capped the nine-play, 70-yard drive with an 18-yard touchdown scramble. He ended his day with 33 yards rushing and two TD's. He was also 6-for-12 passing for 90 yards.
Dane Evans took the QB reigns on the next possession, and he led the offense into the endzone in just four plays.
On the second play of the drive, running back Alex Singleton busted through the left side and broke a couple tackles en route to a 41-yard carry. Two plays later, Evans connected with wide receiver Conner Floyd on a 24-yard fade route in the corner of the endzone to give the offense another score.
Evans was 5-for-11 for 39 yards and a TD. Cody Green was 3-for-7 for 24 yards, and Joseph Calcagni completed 4-of-8 passes for nine yards.
"For us, really, it has come down to Kalen and Cody being our lead guys (at the quarterback position)," Blankenship said. "They've been fighting it out this week. Different days have gone to different guys. Today, I thought execution-wise they were about the same. Kalen had more big plays today, and ultimately you measure a quarterback by getting his team in the end zone.
"We've got to a better job of taking care of the football. So far, Cody has done a better job. We've gotten bigger, more explosive plays from Kalen this last week, but he still makes a few mistakes that turn the ball over. Whereas Cody has been a little less spectacular, but he's been more protective of the football."
Singleton led the rushing attack with 50 yards on four carries. Zack Langer carried the ball 12 times for 38 yards, and Ja'Terian Douglas had nine carries for 28 yards. Langer also added two receptions for 20 yards.
Watts had five carries for 14 yards and a rushing touchdown, and he also had two catches for 54 yards. Carter had a team-high four receptions for 30 yards.
Defensive end Cory Dorris powered the white shirts with three sacks and two forced fumbles. The defense had 12 total sacks, with 10 different players recording at least a half sack.
Will Noel also forced a fumble, which led to one of two safeties on the day for the defense. The other was on a penalty in the endzone.
The annual Spring Football Game and FanFest is scheduled for April 7 at H.A. Chapman Stadium as the Golden Hurricane football team culminates spring drills with the annual game.
The festivities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with live entertainment featuring `Dante & The Hawks', inflatable games and concessions on the west side of the stadium at Thomas Plaza. An Easter Egg Hunt for kids in the 5th grade and under will take place beginning at 12:30 p.m. Kids will have an opportunity to find the "GOLDEN EGG" with the prize being Mazzio's Family Fun Zone Season Tickets.
The Spring Game will kickoff at 1 p.m. There is no admission fee.
PASSING STATS Kalen Henderson 6-for-12, 90 yards Dane Evans 5-for-11, 39 yards, 1 TD Cody Green 3-for-7, 24 yards Stephen Rouse 1-for-2, 16 yards Joseph Calcagni 4-for-8, 9 yards Gabe Davis 0-for-1, 0 yards

association mapping, will allow the identification of the genes underlying traits such as these.
Adaptive radiations continue to offer a rich resource for understanding the process of evolution. As we have outlined here, they are ideal for identifying general evolutionary trends and often consist of the repeated evolution of the same traits, allowing tests of whether evolution follows predictable trajectories. As we move forward in an era when genomic resources will be increasingly available, adaptive radiations offer additional advantages. Because recent rapid radiations have resulted in closely related taxa with distinct adaptive features, the genomes are likely to be remarkably similar overall, thus leaving relatively clear signals of which genes are likely involved with speciation and adaptation [e.g., Turner et al. (2005)]. Furthermore, the development of genomic tools for 1 species will likely be transferable to other taxa in an adaptive radiation (Abzhanov et al., 2008). Exploration of phenotypes in the field and their genetic basis provides a powerful approach for describing evolutionary processes that have shaped biodiversity. For the reasons outlined above, adaptive radiations maximize our ability to detect patterns and test both long-standing and emerging hypotheses about the nature of adaptive evolutionary change.

New Records Set Today & Near Record Lows Tomorrow.January 7th, 2014 at 6:42 pm by Tiffany Savona WAVY under Weather
It was COLD out there this morning and this afternoon! Here are the lows this morning.
The record low temperature this morning for Norfolk International Airport was 13° set back 1884. So we came close, but we did not break the record. We did break the record for the lowest high temperature recorded at Norfolk International Airport. Today was the COLDEST January 7th ever with a 26° degree reading recorded just after midnight.
The cold snap will continue tomorrow. We are looking at near record low temperatures Wednesday morning. Lows will drop down into the lower teens again. The record low temperature for Norfolk International Airport Wednesday morning is 13° set back in 1970. I think we could flirt with the record tomorrow morning. Wind speeds will really come down tonight and only range from 5-10mph, so we won't have to worry about wind chill values below zero again tonight. But it will still be downright cold with temperatures in the teens. Check out Jeremy Wheeler's blog for more cold weather tips.
We should crack 32° tomorrow and then we will be back in the 40s on Thursday with 60s returning by the weekend. Seems like you need a large closet in order to keep up with the roller coaster temperatures here in Hampton Roads.
Just wanted to post a couple of viewer photos that really tell the weather story across Hampton Roads.
You know it is cold when there is a coating of ice covering an entire car! Chris Rodriguez sent in this picture from Naval Station Norfolk. This is from ocean spray overnight.

Top Dog of Porsche's motorsport range unveiled for next year's racing season. You wants it

This is the 911 GT3 RSR: a 455bhp race-developed GT car set to battle in 2011's motorsport season.
The new RSR gets 5bhp more than its predecessor from a 4.0-litre flat-six boxer engine revving to an almighty 9,400rpm. That six-banger is mated to a six-speed sequential box, housed in a monocoque body based on the GT3 RS, weighing 1,220kg.
You get four-way gas pressure dampers front and back, double coil springs and an 'infinitely adjustable' suspension setup. Brakes come courtesy of six and four-piston callipers and 380mm front and 355mm rear diameter discs.
And this version of "the world's most successful GT race car" will set you back just £346,000 plus VAT. Though, you might wanna' take some racing lessons first before you sell that kidney...

This may well help if you are having problems getting your connection status up from starting connection in Frostwire 4, Do not attempt to use this method if you are using the all Torrent Frostwire 5, which is the only version that receives official support from Frostwire. But first try this: go to Frostwire > file > disconnect and then back to file > connect. That sometimes does the trick.
Before that, and if applicable to your set up, ensure you are running a recent version .. something between say 4.18.6 and 4.21.8, available from OldApps.com - Windows or OldApps.com - Mac. Information and Download Links for MAC versions 4.21.1 and 4.18.6, necessary for some older Mac OS X installations can be found IN THIS POST
Note that any version newly installed will probably need this replacement, however, initially, it may take quite a while, perhaps 20 minutes or longer. After a possible slow initial start, it should be far quicker in future. Please give us feedback on any method you find works for you, with a few details. That will help us, and others, in the future. Other connection suggestions are at STICKY: CONNECTION PROBLEMS.
How to Replace the Gnutella.net file:
In your application data or preference folder for Frostwire, (not your program or applications folder) there should be a file entitled gnutella.net
Before making any changes to the Folder, (see below for instructions on how to find it) make sure Frostwire is fully closed. You need do nothing else with the file .. just put it in the folder .. Frostwire knows what to do with it
A fresh gnutella.net file (Created 8 June 2015) can be downloaded by clicking the above link.
Download/Save this to your desktop, or somewhere you can find it. There are various sources for the file and some of them are dubious. This one is not. If you have a working copy of Limewire or Frostwire possibly on another computer you can copy the file from that application, to a memory stick, if necessary and use that instead.
Find your Preference or Application Data Folder. Note: this is not your Application or Programme Folder.
To find your preference folder in Mac OS X it is in HD>users>your name>library>preferences>Frostwire, and the gnutella.net file will be in that folder
In Windows XP on your start menu click Run... and type in %appdata% A folder will appear, look for Frostwire and inside for gnutella.net
In Windows Vista Open any folder window and type %appdata% in the box at the top. A folder, or list will appear, look for Frostwire and inside that, for gnutella.net
in Windows XP the folder is at C:\Documents and Settings\name you use to login\Application Data\FrostWire\ and look for gnutella.net
in Windows Vista it is at C:\Users\name you use to login\AppData\Roaming\FrostWire\ and look for gnutella.net
Your app data folder is quite likely hidden and you may need to enable it to be visible. in any windows folder click tools > folder options at the top. click on that and then view then show hidden files and folders.
Now make sure Frostwire is fully closed
Now find your gnutella.net file. delete it and move the file you downloaded into the folder in its place. If no gnutella.net file exists move the new file into the folder anyway.
Restart Frostwire and see if it reaches turbocharged connection within a few minutes or less.

Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Start of Work at WPK C.C. Marked Abroad
|Pyongyang, June 30 (KCNA) -- The 47th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea was marked in foreign countries from June 14 to 18.
A seminar was held in Brazil, a reading session in Uganda, a lecture in Indonesia and an art performance in Vietnam.
The chairman of the Brazilian Center for the Study of the Juche Idea said Kim Jong Il clarified the philosophical principle of the Juche idea in his work "On the Juche Idea". He noted with appreciation that the DPRK has maintained independence in all the fields of socialist construction including politics, economy and culture and turned into a military power thanks to the original Songun politics.
Victories will always be in store for the Korean people guided by the Juche idea, he added.
The chief of the Group for the Study of Songun Politics of the Kampala Coloro Higher Middle School of Uganda said the WPK developed into an invincible party that has thoroughly embodied the great Juche idea in its building and activities with its roots deeply struck among the popular masses since Kim Jong Il started his work at the WPK Central Committee.
The art troupe of the Youth Theatre of Vietnam put on the stage colorful numbers including Korean and Vietnamese songs.

Jamaica Opens Plant to Extract REE from Bauxite
Rare Earth – The Times Colonist reported that Jamaica has opened a pilot plant where researchers will test whether rare-earth elements can be commercially extracted from bauxite waste.
Rare Earth – The Times Colonist reported that Jamaica has opened a pilot plant where researchers will test whether rare-earth elements can be commercially extracted from bauxite waste.
Rare Earth – Last week, Jamaica's REE processing facility moved a step closer to completion. Meanwhile, REE prices continued to rise on the back of the Chinese government's crackdown on illegal operations in Ganzhou.
Rare Earth – The Jamaican Information News Service reported that the rare earth elements extraction pilot project being done jointly by the Jamaica Bauxite Institute (JBI) and Japanese company Nippon Light Metals is expected to begin soon, as construction on the plant is 95 percent complete.
Rare Earth – A Japanese mining firm has stated that Jamaica may be playing host to a large amount of rare earth elements.

Russian space scientists are devising a plan to bring the Yamal-402 communications satellite back into its correct orbit after it lost its trajectory and ended up in an orbit near to, but not exactly, where it was meant to be.
Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, announced that the satellite did not reach its desired orbit due to an early separation of the rocket's upper stage.
It appears that the upper stage of the Proton-M rocket failed to perform its final boost-burn for the proper duration, leaving a Gazprom Space System (GSS) satellite in a lower-than-planned orbit at the end of a nine-hour flight from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Now, scientists are looking into the possibility of using the satellite's own fuel reserves and engines to bring it to where it's supposed to be.
"The Yamal-402 has been deployed into an orbit close to the calculated one, and unless it was damaged by the early separation, it is likely that the satellite may be used as designated with some restrictions," an unnamed expert told RIA.
The French Thales Alenia Space company built the satellite with 46 Ku-band transponders – enough to provide coverage over most of Eurasia, the Middle East and Africa.
It's the second satellite in its class to be sent out to space this year. The last one, the Yamal-300K, ascended on November 3 and currently is able to cover 95 per cent of the Russian territory.
The GSS plans to have the Yamal network fully operational by 2020.

Air New Zealand, the government-controlled national carrier, plans to cut 180 jobs at its Auckland Technical Operations engineering base, citing a move to more modern aircraft which require less maintenance.
The airline is in talks with staff about cutting jobs from July 2014 as it mulls its future needs for wide body aircraft heavy maintenance, spokeswoman Brigitte Ransom said in an emailed statement. The talks will run until late September with a decision slated for October, she said.
"The proposed changes reflect a projected drop in future demand for wide body maintenance services both from within Air New Zealand and from external maintenance customers," Ransom said. "This is largely due to Air New Zealand and its customers introducing more modern aircraft to their fleets, which require less frequent maintenance."
Air New Zealand would continue to perform heavy maintenance work with reduced staff, the company said. The company didn't immediately respond to questions on expected cost savings from the cuts. The cuts could save it about $18 million a year, based on the average salary of its 10,500-strong workforce as at June 2012.
The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, which represents the workers, said it will start a 58-day consultation process with Air New Zealand where it will have the opportunity to analyse the airline's business case and suggest an alternative proposal.
The job cuts suggest the high New Zealand dollar is making the airline uncompetitive in bids for third party engineering work, the union said.
"The confirmation of job losses is devastating for our members and we will be doing everything we can to protect jobs," EPMU assistant director of organising Strachan Crang said in a statement. "New Zealand has world-class aircraft engineers but unless we see action on the high dollar, this highly-skilled, well-paid industry will continue to decline."
The proposed cuts follow job losses at the Christchurch Engine Centre, Safe Air and Air New Zealand technical operations, the EPMU said. Air New Zealand is also proposing to outsource the upgrade of its Boeing 777-200 fleet, the EPMU said.
Shares in Air New Zealand fell 1.7 percent to $1.42.

Johnson, Jay Blank Michigan 1-0 to Extend Streak
April 11, 2014
Box Score | Printable Box Score | Hartleb Interview | Johnson Interview | Photo Gallery
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Starter Drasen Johnson and closer Tyler Jay combined for a 1-0 shutout against Michigan on Friday night at Illinois Field, extending Illinois' season-long winning streak to six and scoreless innings streak to 25. UI only needed one run to win for the second straight game, marking just the second time that has happened in school history. The Illini pitched back-to-back 1-0 shutouts for the first time since May 16, 1969, which was part of a doubleheader against Michigan State and the only other time it has been done.
"That's the first time since 1969 that we have pitched back-to-back 1-0 shutouts, and we are working on 25 straight scoreless innings on the mound," head coach Dan Hartleb said. "That is impressive at any level. Our pitchers have been really good and we have had great defense. We are playing loose and our guys continue to improve. They believe in themselves and we are playing as a unit. There are a lot of things going well."
Illinois won for the 10th time in 11 games and improved to 18-11 overall. After dropping the Big Ten opener 4-3 to Purdue, the Illini have rolled off six consecutive Big Ten wins and sit in second place in the conference at 6-1. The six-game winning streak equals the longest mark from last season, which the NCAA Regional team did twice while winning 12 out of 13 games. The Orange and Blue have given up a measly seven runs over the past six games for a 1.15 ERA.
Johnson shined on the mound by throwing seven scoreless frames with only four hits and one walk for the second start in a row. After matching a career-high 10 strikeouts in his last outing, he finished with three punch outs against the Wolverines, as he improved to 4-4 on the season.
Jay took over on the mound in the eighth and recorded his fourth career save to push Illinois' scoreless streak to 25 innings. After allowing two runs in the third inning to Northwestern last Saturday, the Illini have not given up a run since. Illinois has pitched shutouts in three of its last four games and owns five on the year.
Redshirt-junior Reid Roper singled home junior Michael Hurwitz for the game's only run with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. It would be all the Illini needed behind the impressive pitching performances. The Illini had chances to tack on runs, but had runners thrown out at home to end both the fourth and fifth inning.
Michigan (14-19-1, 4-6 Big Ten) did not get a runner past second base on the night. Johnson gave up a leadoff single but it was erased by a 9-3 double play. The Wolverines got their only extra-base hit in the first but the double was followed by a groundout.
"Drasen continues to work hard," Hartleb said. "After the first inning tonight, I thought he was really, really good."
Johnson retired seven straight before allowing his third hit on a single up the middle in the fourth. The Chillicothe, Ill., native worked a perfect fifth and had his only walk in the sixth. He had a hot shot deflect off him in the seventh for the fourth hit, but got a ground ball to end the stanza.
Jay struck out the first batter he faced followed by Michigan singling through the left side. Freshman Ryne Roper then made a stellar diving double play on a bloop into short left field to end the eighth inning. The Lemont, Ill., native gave up a one-out single but followed it with a fielder's choice and strikeout to wrap up the win.
"You saw as good of a play that you are going to see at any level on that catch over his head by Ryne Roper to double off the runner at first base," Hartleb said.
Up Next: Illinois will meet Michigan for game two on Saturday at 3 p.m. at Illinois Field. Country Day will be held at the park, while sophomore Ryan Castellanos (3-1, 3.18 ERA) will start against junior Trent Szkutnik (0-4, 2.83 ERA).

Widely acclaimed as one of the world's finest brass ensembles, the ATLANTIC BRASS QUINTET has been heard in 48 of the United States and more than a dozen countries across four continents, performing a unique repertory spanning Dufay, Gesualdo, and Bach; Babbitt, Ellington, and Zappa; and ethnic music from the streets of Brazil, Cuba, the Balkans, and New Orleans. Winner of six international chamber music competitions, the Quintet's distinctive sound, impeccable ensemble, stunning virtuosity, and warm, inviting stage presence have won praise from scores of critics.
Founded in 1985, the Atlantic Brass Quintet launched its career with a phenomenal string of competition victories over a period of two years. Grand prizes include the Coleman Chamber Music Competition, the Carmel Chamber Music Society Competition, the Shore¬line Alliance Chamber Music Competition, the Summit Brass First International Brass Ensemble Competition, and the Rafael Mendez International Brass Quintet Competition. Following these remarkable achievements, the Atlantic Brass Quintet was honored by Musical America by being named "Young Artists of 1988." In May 1992, by unanimous decision, the Quintet won the "Première Prix" at the International Brass Competition of Narbonne, France, recognized worldwide as the preeminent competition of its kind.
Highlights in the Quintet's busy concert career include performances at Carnegie Hall, Weill Recital Hall, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, the Boston Celebrity Series, Caramoor, and the White House. Thousands have enjoyed their performances at Tanglewood-on-Parade, and in 1991, as part of Boston's Fourth of July Celebration, Atlantic Brass Quintet entertained an audience of over 350,000 on the Esplanade. Recent and upcoming festival performances include the Festival of New American Music in Sacramento, the Savannah Music Festi¬val, the Chautauqua Institution, the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, and the Caramoor Festival for Music and the Arts. Other recent and upcoming performances include the Houston Friends of Music, the University at Buffalo, Chamber Music West, Purdue University, and Calvin College, while extended residencies include California State University Fullerton, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Quad City Arts. The quintet is also active on the international scene, with performances the last two seasons in Italy for Palladium Musicum, in South Korea for the Jeju Summer Band Festival, in Taiwan for the Hsing Tien Kong Culture & Education Development Foundation, and for the National Concert Association in Panama.
The Quintet's latest recording, "Crossover," was released in 2014. The album comprised repertory largely inspired or influenced by jazz, ranging from commissioned works to an arrangement of Shostakovich's "Jazz Suite No. 1." The album "5 Chairs," was released by Summit Records in 2004. It features music of Monteverdi and Holborne, new works by Marti Eptstein and Ray Luke, the contemporary classic quintet of Alvin Etler, and Oskar Boehme's Sextet. Summit reissued "Picture This," a favorite from the Quintet's extensive back catalogue, in early 2005. "Passages and Fanfares" was released in the fall of 2002 and comprises music of Bach, Handel, Praetorius, and Byrd alongside new works from Bernard Rands, Ray Luke, and Samuel Headrick, as well as such audience favorites as Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" and selections from the Atlantic Brass Quintet's "Brass Band Music from Around the World."
The Atlantic Brass Quintet has been the resident brass quintet of Boston University, the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and the Boston Conservatory. The popular Atlantic Brass Quintet International Brass Seminar, established in 1993 and now in residence at Northeastern University, has already secured the ensemble's legacy to the next generation of brass musicians.
The Atlantic Brass Quintet can be heard on recordings from Summit Records, Solstice, and Crystal.
