A Short History of Scientific and Technical Education in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Heriot-Watt Universities
by Dr John Henry, Science Studies Unit, University of Edinburgh
At the beginning of the twenty-first century Scotland, like the rest of the United Kingdom, has embarked upon an age of mass higher education. Attendance at university is no longer for a privileged few, but is increasingly open to a significant proportion of the population. In a sense, however, this can be seen as the culminating point of the liberal values of education which were characteristic of the Scottish universities from their foundation in the Middle Ages, and which achieved their greatest success in the eighteenth century when the Scottish universities fostered the 'democratic intellect'. Although the non-specialist liberal education offered by the ancient Scottish universities came in for periodical criticism from the more elitist ancient English universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the most serious threat to the broadly-based education which was seen as distinctively Scottish has been the demand for a more restrictive specialised education suitable for the training of scientists and engineers. The history of the changing values of Scottish education, therefore, can be seen as the result of tensions between the Scottish tradition of a broadly based liberal and non-vocational education, and the requirements, beyond the universities, of a culture that increasingly required expertise in science and technology.
As the riches of the collections being catalogued by the NAHSTE project show, it would be a serious mistake to assume that science is only a recent feature in the linked histories of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Heriot-Watt Universities. From the origins of the two older universities and throughout the formative pre-history of Heriot-Watt, the attempt to understand the workings of the natural world has always been seen as an important pedagogical enterprise. It is usually said that at Oxford the study of the classics was seen as the best way to inculcate young minds with the habits of rational thought and analysis, while simultaneously training the memory, at Cambridge it was thought that these educational goals were best achieved by emphasis upon pure mathematics, while in the Scottish universities the emphasis was upon philosophy. It is this focus upon philosophy in the Scottish curriculum which has been seen as giving it its distinctive, more generalist, character. It is important to note, however, that the study of philosophy in the pre-modern period always included a large element of natural philosophy, the study of the natural world. This can be seen in the papers of John Robison, and the Rev Dr John Walker, both of whom were professors at the University of Edinburgh. A commission appointed by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1639 sought to impose a uniform curriculum in the Arts Faculties. The stipulation was that Greek and logic should be taught in the first year; logic and arithmetic in the second; logic, geometry, metaphysics and ethics in the third; providing a grounding for the study of inanimate nature and living things, by means of Aristotle's Physics and De anima (On the Soul) in the fourth year. Although this and similar attempts to impose a uniform Scottish curriculum came to nothing, the curricula at Glasgow and Edinburgh were very close to this supposed ideal anyway. Philosophy in the pre-modern period culminated not in metaphysics or ethics, as we today might suppose, but in natural philosophy, the study of nature.
Furthermore, when Glasgow and especially Edinburgh came to be seen as two of the best universities in Europe, in the late Eighteenth Century, it was largely as a result of their reputations in science teaching, as well as the medical teaching which was built upon the latest science. The roll call of the Glasgow and Edinburgh professors in science subjects in those days, many of whose papers are included on the NAHSTE project, provides a list of leading figures not only in the Scottish Enlightenment but also in the history of European science.
But this did not mean that the science teaching in Glasgow and Edinburgh had become elitist, specialised, and antithetical to the Scottish tradition of liberal education. The teaching in the Scottish universities was by this time provided in lectures delivered by the professors, and was a marked contrast to the teaching of Oxford and Cambridge which was still provided by college tutors. The best professors in Glasgow and Edinburgh drew substantial numbers of students to their lectures. At least in part, they did so by providing non-specialist introductory lectures which were suitable for a wide range of listeners. Indeed, it was in the interests of the professors to provide accessible lectures since often they received only a small salary, or in some cases no salary at all, and had to make up their income from student fees. There were no entrance examinations and fees for individual courses were relatively low. Students could take courses selectively depending upon their interests and what they could afford. It was this system of teaching in the universities which ensured that the scientific education provided was of a broad and non-specialist character even though it was provided by some of the leading scientists of the day.
As well as providing a foothold on the ladder of achievement for the 'lad o' pairts' of Scottish folklore, who could attend university in term time, often from the age of 15 or 16, and return to the family farm or to shepherding or fishing in the summer, the flexibility of the system allowed many who lived in or near the town to attend on a part-time basis. The result was that by the end of the Eighteenth Century significant numbers of students in Glasgow and Edinburgh were from the working class. Except in the Medical Faculties, the majority of students did not formally graduate until the 1880s, preferring to base their education on their own requirements rather than on university statutes. As the reputations of Glasgow and Edinburgh grew they increasingly attracted keen or gifted English and other foreign students who could not attend Oxford or Cambridge because of the religious test, demanding subscription to the Thirty Nine Articles of the Anglican Church.
It seems clear that in spite of the financial and pedagogical incentives for the Scottish professors to ensure that their lectures were accessible to a comparatively wide audience, the best lecturers nevertheless succeeded in promoting the latest scientific ideas and showing their importance for daily life. Newtonian mathematical physics was promoted in the universities of Enlightenment Scotland long before it was accepted in continental Europe. The astronomer and mathematician David Gregory (1652-1706), was the first professor to lecture on Newtonian principles. He also wrote the first textbook concerning gravitational principles, Astronomiae Physicae et Geometricae Elementa, (1702).
The Enlightenment was characterised by its leading lights as an Age of Reason, in which the successes of the newly developed experimental method, and new methods of analysing the world mathematically, could be extended and applied to political economy and other newly developed 'human sciences'. There can be no doubt that the professors of the Scottish Enlightenment, such as Joseph Black, William Cullen, John Robison and Rev Dr John Walker, played a major role in promoting science as an important part of public culture.
Another important factor in the cultural influence of the Scottish higher educational system was the large numbers of students it produced. In 1801 in England and Wales there were two universities for a population of 8.8 million, in Scotland there were four universities for a population of 1.6 million. Even in 1850, when Durham and University College London raised the English universities to four, they catered for a population of 17.9 million, while the population of Scotland had risen only to 2.8 million. Successful Scottish students frequently could not find work in their native country and began to make an impact abroad, especially in the British colonies.
But it is one thing to introduce the sciences and the scientific world view into polite culture, it is quite another to provide the kind of specialist training in the sciences and in technology that might be demanded by new industrialising concerns in the Britain of the Industrial Revolution. Many of the scientific innovations of the Industrial Revolution were in fact introduced by Scots like Joseph Black (1728-99), James Watt (1736-1819), James Keir (1735-1820) and others, but for the most part the education offered was not intended to provide a foundation of industrial training, and by the early decades of the Nineteenth Century this was becoming more and more apparent.
At first, the justly proud tradition of the Scottish liberal education prevented any change in the curricula at Glasgow and Edinburgh. Instead, new institutions arose to provide the necessary commercial, industrial, and technological training. The Andersonian Institution in Glasgow, a foundation set up with a bequest by a disaffected former professor at Glasgow, John Anderson (1726-96), gave rise to the Glasgow Mechanics' Institution in 1823, but it was a full two years earlier The School of Arts of Edinburgh (whose full title described it as intended 'for the Education of Mechanics in Such Branches of Physical Science as are of Practical Application in their Several Trades') was established and can be seen therefore as the initial inspiration for mechanics institutes. Although these institutions did not set out to offer degree level education, they were right from the outset closely linked with the universities. Leonard Horner (1785-1864), the principal mover in the establishment of the Edinburgh School of Arts went on to become the first Warden of University College, London, at its foundation in 1826. The first lecture delivered at the School of Arts was on the subject of chemistry and was delivered by Dr Andrew Fyfe (1792-1861) who went on to become professor of chemistry at the University of Aberdeen. Lectures in farriery were delivered by John Dick (1769-1844), who's son William (1793-1866) founded the Dick Veterinary School, which was later incorporated as part of the University of Edinburgh. Often seen as the prototype for the Mechanics' Institutes, in some respects at least, the Edinburgh School of Arts can be seen as the prototype for the more specialist and more vocational Science and Engineering Faculties which the older universities were later to develop.
By the later decades of the nineteenth century, the demands of the increasingly scientific and technological commercial concerns of Victorian Britain were outstripping the level of scientific education offered by Glasgow and Edinburgh. Scientists like William Thomson, later Lord Kelvin (1824-1907) , Peter Guthrie Tait (1831-1901), James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), D'Arcy Thompson (1860-1948), Sir John Graham Kerr (1869-1957), and numerous others, now went on to Cambridge to take the much more specialised mathematical tripos, or the natural philosophy tripos. When men like Thomson and Tait came back to teach in Glasgow or Edinburgh, they found that their students did not have the necessary mathematical groundwork required to establish a curriculum closer to that of Cambridge. By now it was becoming increasingly apparent that the Scottish system, which once seemed superior to the system in the ancient English universities, was now inadequate to meet the new demand for graduates equipped for industrial and technical pursuits. From 1858 (which saw the Act to make Provision for the Better Government and Discipline of the Universities of Scotland) to 1908 (when Glasgow revised its curriculum in order to allow yet more scientific specialisation) the Scottish universities followed what has been called a 'painful path of adjustment'. The changes included the forcing up of the school leaving age by two years, introduction of entrance examinations, suppression of the general honours degree, and introduction of more specialised honours degrees on the English model.
During this period, the stimulus for change was not simply a recognition of the success of the Cambridge mathematical tripos. This was also the age which saw the establishment of the English civic universities with their greater concern for vocational and technical education. Closer to home, the Royal Technical College in Glasgow (which had grown out of the Andersonian Institution) and the Edinburgh School of Arts continued to show the importance of high level technical education. After absorbing a memorial fund for James Watt in 1852 the Edinburgh School became the Watt Institution and School of Arts, and in 1885 an endowment from the Trust established by the will of George Heriot, or 'Jingling Geordie' (1563-1624), financier to the Court of James VI and I, called for yet a new designation, as the Heriot-Watt College.
Another major influence upon the changing nature of scientific education in the two ancient universities came directly from the rising commercial and industrial concerns which needed the kind of trained specialists that the old liberal system of education was failing to produce. Lord Kelvin's experiences as consultant to various engineering firms ensured that his lectures dealt extensively with industrial matters.
Sir Archibald Geikie (1835-1924), Regius professor of geology at Edinburgh, not only discussed the industrial value of minerals in his lectures but also dealt with the engineering of tunnelling and cuttings. At first, such practically oriented teaching still depended upon individual professors. Lyon Playfair's (1819-1898) Edinburgh lectures in chemistry in the 1850s and 60s were often shaped by the demands of what he called 'manufactures', but his successor Alexander Crum Brown (1838-1922) reversed this trend. Increasingly, however, the industrially aware professor began to dominate, for example the papers of Principal Hugh Bryan Nisbet (1902-1969) reflect the awareness of the need to provide training for the requirements of industry. Furthermore, professorships in engineering were introduced. The first in Britain, founded in 1840, was established at Glasgow and filled by Lewis Dunbar Brodie Gordon (1815-1876), who was succeeded by William John MacQuorn Rankine (1820-1872). In 1889 a former student, Archibald Barr (1855-1931) combined the post with a successful business manufacturing military instruments, most notably rangefinders, named Barr and Stroud. The first professor of engineering at Edinburgh was Fleeming Jenkin (1833-1885), who had been trained by Gordon, and was also a director of the Watt Institution and School of Arts.
By the end of the Nineteenth Century the possibility of improving agricultural practices through scientific methodologies were being examined by the University of Edinburgh. James Cossar Ewart (1851-1933) undertook experimental breeding to investigate the laws of heredity, led to the Board of Agriculture for Scotland forming the Joint Committee on Research in Animal Breeding in 1913. The foundation of the University of Edinburgh's Institute of Animal Genetics followed in 1919 with the express aim of encouraging agricultural education and research. The Institute's emphasis on animal breeding problems led, in 1928, to the creation of the Buchanan Chair in Animal Genetics, which was occupied by Francis Albert Eley Crew (1886-1973).
It is usually said that the Scottish universities were less successful in producing the kind of specialist education required by the new industrialising Britain and her Empire than the new civic universities established in England. Certainly, this seems to be reflected in the comparatively patchy level of financial support provided by industry to the Scottish universities. There has been a tendency to assume that the difference lies in the fact that the Scottish universities had to painfully adjust to a changing world while the English civic universities were newly formed precisely to provide the kind of specialist scientific and technical education that industrial Britain required. There is no doubt some truth in this but it is only part of the picture, as these collections show. Glasgow and Edinburgh were much more successful than the other ancient Scottish universities in catering for industrial demand and were perhaps comparable in their success to the English civic universities. At the same time, however, they were also fully established universities, far larger and more complex, and offering a far wider range of subjects than the civic universities which were closer to the more specialist technical and scientific education offered at Heriot-Watt College. From 1901, Heriot-Watt was recognised as one of the newly designated 'Central Institutions' in Scotland, offering higher courses up to degree and diploma level in technical, scientific and commercial subjects. These Central Institutions were informally recognised within the Scottish Education Department as 'Technical Universities' and were, therefore, equivalent to the new English civic universities in all but name.
The Scottish universities continued to change anyway. So much so that traditionalists continued to deplore what they saw as the loss of the distinctively Scottish liberal and generalist education. George Davie's influential histories of the Scottish universities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, The Democratic Intellect (1961) and The Crisis of the Democratic Intellect (1986), found a readership beyond historians and became banners for Scottish patriots lamenting the Anglicisation of Scottish education and the death of the lad o' pairts. Be that as it may, by 1966, when Heriot-Watt College, became formerly recognised as Heriot-Watt University, the transformation of scientific and technical education in the Scottish university system was complete.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - It's eerily quiet on the tennis courts at Dubuque Senior High School. There's only the sound of the nets whipping in the wind.
Dubuque Schools Athletic Director Amy Hawkins said, "we squeedgy those courts the best we can but when it's raining it's pretty impossible to play tennis. "
On the track there are no cheers at the finish line. No one is leaping over hurdles. Pat Murphy has been the Men's Track and Field Coach for 40 years.
Murphy said, "this spring season has been the worst. To try to get meets in, to try to get practices in. It's just terrible."
Athletic directors say scheduling indoor practices for four spring sports is a nightmare.
Hawkins said, "everybody want to be inside in their gym right after school. So we have to balance that. We have teams practicing at 7, 8, 9 at night. "
Across town, at Hempstead High School, teachers try to squeeze by as student athletes practice in the hallways.
"If you don't probably laugh about it, you'd probably go crazy, "said Hawkins.
Already this season, Dubuque Senior High School cancelled two track meets. In Tennis, the Senior vs. Wahlert Catholic meet was postponed five times. At Hempstead High School they've postponed or cancelled four tennis meets, one soccer game, one golf match and five track meets. It's getting pretty frustrating for all involved.
At Wahlert Catholic High School directors have cancelled 38 spring sporting events.

The Hall in Miami, JDV's First East Coast Hotel, Will Have a 'Top Chef' In-House
Earlier this year, we learned West Coast born-and-raised Joie de Vivre Hotels (JDV) would be expanding its horizons to Miami and New York. We're still waiting on the full details of the NYC property, but The Hall in Miami, at 15th and Collins, is going ahead with its "late summer" opening and now they've got "Top Chef" alum, Spike Mendelsohn, to create the food and bar menus.
Sunny's will be Spike's first outpost in Miami. The spot is named after his grandfather, but is also a nod to the weather in Miami (most days.) Designed by Robert McKinley, who also did the interiors for the rest of the hotel, Sunny's will "blend rustic elements and the tropics with natural, hand-crafted wood tables, all-weather chairs made from reclaimed rebar, and a Florida keystone main countertop."
Spike plans on serving reinterpretations of his favorite dishes he's picked up while traveling. That includes a Gulf Coast Grilled Grouper "Reuben," the Greek-inspired Lifeguard Focaccia Myrtos Beach-Style, and the Jersey Shore Pork Roll Breakfast Sandwich. (Um, it's not pork roll. It's Taylor ham. Just saying.) Spike will also create made-to-order, brick-oven pizzas for The Hall's backyard bar and outdoor lounge area.
We wonder if his former judge, Tom Colicchio, will pop in. Colicchio, after all, is opening his Beachcraft restaurant up the road at the 1 Hotel South Beach.

Joie de Vivre Hotels is Moving East With Miami Beach and NYC Hotels Lined Up
We often found that while most East Coast people are wiling to go West, to the land of sun and
empty happy people, it is hard to make West Coasters go East, to the land of brutal winters and rude strong-minded people and stay there. (Or maybe that's just our own experience.)
But West Coast brand, Joie de Vivre Hotels, is taking its California hotel style to the East Coast, opening in Miami Beach and NYC's Bowery hood in the next couple of years.
The Hall will open this summer at 15th Street and Collins Ave, prime Art Deco in a building originally designed by architect L. Murray Dixon. Now, Miami-based architectural firm ADD Inc. and interior design firm Robert McKinley Creative are "renewing" the landmark property to create a 164-room JDV hotel with a courtyard, indoor/outdoor restaurant, a library bar, a swimming pool and in a city of craft cocktails, a beer garden. We're already thirsty.

Hotel Tomo in San Francisco Trades 'Joy' for 'Karma'
And by that we mean, the Japanimation-inspired Hotel Tomo in San Fran's Japantown has gone from a Joie de Vivre Hotel to a Kimpton Hotel. (For those not in the know, JDV's loyalty program is called Joy of Life while Kimpton's is called Kimpton Karma.)
So far, it doesn't seem like anything has changed from the JDV days (except possibly the toiletries in the bathroom which were once Japanese but are now from LATHER.) Here's a more in-depth TripAdvisor review from a Kimpton Karma member who stayed there as the changeover was happening:
I was happy to learn at check-in that Hotel Tomo is now a Kimpton Hotel as I'm a huge fan of Kimpton.
The changeover literally took place the day we arrived so there are still many, many things that need to be ironed out before Hotel Tomo satisfies Kimpton's usual standards.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were given an upgrade which was nice. The room was quite large, especially by San Francisco standards. The view from our room on the eighth floor was great.

Joie de Vivre Wants You to Take a 'Joy Ride' With Their New Website
Joie de Vivre Hotels is the latest hotel brand to debut a new, friendlier website that goes way beyond looking at room photos and making a reservation.
Instead of being a cold-hearted point of transaction, JDV's new site wants to take you on a "joy ride" with their "Explore" tool which seeks to match up an ideal hotel for you based on where you want to go and what your interests are. (This is pretty much Yvette, JDV's friendly matchmaker, for the millennial generation.)
Speaking of millennials, the site has "enriched social integrations", meaning Instagram feeds show up, and there's even a new Joy Ride" travel blog, chronicling all aspects of life in cities where JDV hotels can be found.
The design, done by NYC-based digital advertising and marketing agency, Sideways, is top-notch and the site is also "optimized for all devices," meaning it's easy to read from your phone and tablet. But it's not exactly the high-stakes adventure you think of when you hear the words "joy ride." That said, the photos are big and pretty so you can see up close what's in a room. And that's still the most important function we want from a hotel's website.

The Best Room(s) To Book At Hotel Erwin
Considering it's right on Venice Beach (or pretty much right on Venice Beach, anyway), the Hotel Erwin was always going to have top notch views of the Pacific from its rooms.
But, on a recent visit to the rooftop bar, High, we couldn't help but noticing that not all views are created equal.
From High, the coastline was spectacular – both north, towards Santa Monica, and south, beyond LAX – and the whole rooftop was in the sun.

In Case It Wasn't Already Obvious, This is What Airbnb's Founder Thinks of Hotels
We've long known that Airbnb wants to "disrupt" (gag) the hotel industry but we found this recent social media posting from its founder, Brian Chesky, rather bold.
Captured by Valleywag on the Frontback app, the image shows a picture of Chesky's girlfriend in an Airbnb pad with a note attached to a bouquet of flowers that says, "Fuck Hotels."
Hmm...we wonder what Chesky's partner, Chip Conley would have to say about that, given that Chip made his fortune off of his Joie de Vivre hotel company, which he later sold off but in which he's still a part-owner of about 15 hotels. #notcool
Social media takedown aside, Airbnb is incredibly useful in many ways--for folks on a budget, or for hosts who have extra space in their houses and apartments and in areas with limited hotel rooms or too-high hotel rates. But we hope Chesky realizes that he can never stay in a hotel ever again. Never.
And now, we'll be waiting for a hotel's answer to Airbnb. (Hint: you can start with that room and its dubious comforter.)

Thompson Hotel Founders Part Ways with Commune; Some Thompson Hotels To Rebrand
The other week, we were searching hard for information about the reopening of the Thompson Ocean Drive hotel in Miami Beach yet we were met with absolute silence when it came to the matter of the hotel's name change--would it go ahead with the Thompson name or stick with the original moniker, Hotel Victor?
Well, today's HUGE news from Commune Hotels has answered that question. No, it will not be a Thompson hotel in name, mainly because Thompson Hotels' founders--Jason Pomeranc and his brothers, have sold out the rest of the company, including the Thompson name, to Commune. Get comfortable, because this is going to take a while to explain.
Way back in 2011, Joie de Vive Hotels linked up with Thompson Hotels and the two formed Commune Hotels and Resorts. Joie de Vivre was fresh off its own acquisition from Geolo Capital, founded by Hyatt heir, John Pritzker (he has nothing to do with Hyatt Hotels today btw.) The two companies, Geolo Capital and Thompson BP, were equal partners in the formation of Commune Hotels although Thompson Hotels would be its own brand, as would Joie de Vivre, as would the spin-off brand of Thompson Hotels, Tommie Hotels.
Fast forward to today and all brands are expanding to new locations as everyone hoped they would. Commune even managed to snag Niki Leondakis away from Kimpton Hotels. And now, Commune has bought out the Pomeranc brothers. Here's the parting statement Jason Pomeranc gave today: "After nearly 15 years, my brothers Lawrence, Michael and I are incredibly proud to see how Thompson Hotels has evolved into an enormously impactful global hospitality brand," said Jason Pomeranc. "We now look forward to exciting new endeavors and wish John Pritzker and the entire Commune family well."

So the pressing question is, who gets what in the deal? Here's how it all shakes out:

HotelChatter Flashback: Remember When Joie de Vivre Only Existed in California?
It's time for a walk down memory lane with a HotelChatter Flashback!
Three years ago today, we heard the news that Chip Conley's indie boutique hotel chain, Joie de Vivre Hotels, would be expanding outside of California for the very first time, thanks to a new partnership with investor, John Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotels chain and his Geolo Capital private equity firm. This was a big deal back then as JDV was strictly a California-based hotel company.
Fast forward to today and Joie de Vivre is now a part of the bigger Commune Hotels which is also made up of the too-cool lifestyle hotel brand, Thompson Hotels, and the just-announced new hotel brand, Tommie Hotels.
JDV has still made good on its 2010 promise to expand opening hotels in Chicago, Scottsdale (above) and even Hawaii, although California still makes up a good deal of its heart and soul. We're not sure if JDV will ever break out into Seattle, Miami or New York as it will probably leave that up to Commune but you never know...

Hotel Erwin's Got a New Suite Just for Sk8r Bois
Getting surfers and skateboarders to stay at the Hotel Erwin in Venice, Calif. has never been a tough sell for the hotel, thanks to its beachfront location along the Venice Boardwalk, its spunky style (a wall of grafitti art greets guests upon their arrival) and a killer rooftop scene like no other on the beach.
But now there's a whole new way for skaters to go all out at the hotel--The Red Bull Dogtown Suite.
For $1,500 a night, guests can stay in this 750-sq.ft. suite decked out with surf and skateboard decor, a 52" TV, a big round bed and a giant two-person tub. The suite also has a large private balcony with killer ocean views and even a custom DJ turntable should guests want to spin some tunes. And of course, it's stocked with cans of Red Bull.

Thompson Hotels Planning Global Expansion, Starting with Cabo San Lucas
We hope you like these rooms, because there's more of 'em coming!
Yesterday's news of the sixth Thompson Hotel coming to Manhattan was surprising enough but not nearly as surprising as Thompson's expansion plans, which are no doubt being made possible by its new parent company, Commune Hotels and Resorts. (If you aren't up to speed, Thompson and Joie De Vivre Hotels merged back in October and their new parent company, Commune, debuted last month.)
Indeed, the company's CEO Stephen Brandman told us yesterday, "Global expansion will happen before you think." But it seems like it's already here.
Aside from 5 Beekman and the newly opened Thompson Belgraves in London, Thompson Hotels is also running The Sutton Place Hotel in Chicago (which will be relaunched as the Thompson Chicago in late 2013 after renovations) and the Hotel Victor in Miami (which will go by Thompson Ocean Drive after its renovations are finished). But there's even more.

Joie de Vivre + Thompson Hotels Will Now Be Known as...
[This story has been updated from yesterday's, which was originally posted on 2/21/12 at 3:28pm.]
We've been anxiously anticipating the new name for the newly merged Joie de Vivre Hotels and Thompson Hotels as the temporary name, JT Hospitality, was not very original and also conjured up a line of hotels from Justin Timberlake.
Nevertheless, the wait is over as the announcement comes today that the hotels will now fall under the new company name...COMMUNE HOTELS AND RESORTS. (And yes, the website is already up and running.)
Commune co-chairs John Pritzker and Jason Pomeranc, along with CEO Stephen Brandman put out a statement together describing their new Commune:
"Our ethos is about individuality, community, locations that are authentic to their environment, and the kind of service that exceeds guests' expectations and makes travel exciting again," the three executives wrote in a statement. "We believe celebrating individuality is the best way to elevate the guest experience."

Wearing Your Sunglasses at Night at The Saguaro Is Perfectly Ok
Even though the Saguaro Palm Springs just opened the other week, we decided to eschew the two-hour drive from Los Angeles and instead, hop on a plane to Scottsdale and check out the original Saguaro.
We've been obsessing over this hotel's bright color scheme for months now and indeed, driving towards the hotel we let out a little yelp when we saw the brightly colored walls on the guestroom balconies. Yeah, we're nerdy like that. But how did the hotel measure up in living color? Read our review and peruse our galleries to find out!

How would you feel about a computer infection that could lie to your bank about your online transactions? What would happen if details such as who you are paying and how much, could be changed without you knowing it?
That's exactly what can happen with the current crop of transactional trojans. This is called screen injection, HTML overlayor the man-in-the-browser attack.
This type of infection can spy on you while you are online at many banking sites. ATM PINs, social security numbers and answers to secret questions are the types of information that will be stolen.
Previously, we've written about the Zeus trojan, which is the current king of the transactional trojans. Zeus used some very unique command-and-controlinterfaces that actually fooled security experts into giving up information. The Zeus trojan was also used to infect hundreds of U.S. Government employees when they opened a fake Christmas Card email from the White House.
If that's not scary enough, there are more trojans out there that are being bred to compete with Zeus. According to TrustDefender, a well known security provider, a trojan named Carberp has recently added a whole slew of new features. These new features are intended to make it just as useful to black hats as Zeus. Here are some of the features:
- It can run on non-administrator accounts.
- It can infect XP, Vista and Seven machines.
- It doesn't make changes to the Window registry.
- It hooks into the web browser to control all internet traffic.
- It's able to transmit real-time data to it's masters.
It also covers it's identity by appending random data into itself to foil normal anti-virus detection. The fact that it can run in non-admin mode and doesn't write to the registry also makes it harder to detect. To most security software, Carberp could appear to be a simple browser add-on or extension.
The older Zeus trojan hasn't been improved recently, and it looks like there's a battle brewing that will decide the next popular trojan. Carberp is in the running with two or three others, such as SpyEye and Gozi.
It's a rat race, with security experts always trying to build a better trap for the fast rats that keep breeding even faster rats. The security field profits from this race and so do the hackers.
We are the big losers.

Bird Island Research Station Webcam
The Bird Island webcam is situated in the office window of Prince House, the living/accomodation building on Bird Island. It usually points South West, towards Molly Hill and Tonk. The generator shed and the jetty can be seen in the foreground. It is updated every hour, but the blind is closed at dusk so no image will be seen after dark. This prevents night-flying birds that are attracted to the light from hitting the windows.
In summer, the beach in the foreground is a busy Antarctic fur seal breeding colony, in winter it is sometimes visited by leopard seals, and in spring by large male elephant seals. Gentoo penguins can be seen at any time. Dense fog can sometimes make the image rather disappointing, but our constantly changing wildlife and seasons means the camera is of interest all year round.

Limbo makes a great first impression. You play as a young boy who slowly wakes up in a forest where you and everything you can interact with is completely silhouetted. All you hear is soft ambient sound from the environment and the pitter-patter of your own feet as you move. Interacting with objects - such as stepping your feet in water or climbing on tree branches - is refreshing as it is the only thing that seems to contribute additional sound. That is, until you mistakenly step in a bear trap...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

LA Gay & Lesbian Center Bans Smoking Outdoors
(August 2, 2010)—
August 2, 2010
The LA Gay & Lesbian Center is helping the LGBT community breathe easier by expanding its existing smoking ban, which already prohibited smoking in indoor areas, to include the areas outside its McDonald/Wright building and Village at Ed Gould Plaza facilities.
As of Monday, August 2, smoking will be prohibited within 20 feet of both properties, including parking lots and the outdoor courtyard area at The Village.
"Sadly, smoking is widespread in the LGBT community," says Susan Cohen, director of the Health Education & Prevention department at the Center.
"As a leader in LGBT health, the Center feels strongly that we should set an example within our community."
According to a recent report from the American Lung Association, gay, bisexual and transgender men are 2 to 2.5 times more likely to smoke than heterosexual men.
The reports says that lesbian, bisexual and transgender women are 1.5 to 2 times more likely to smoke than heterosexual women.
The City of West Hollywood is weighing a ban on outdoor smoking at restaurants.
Last week, the City of Santa Monica banned smoking within 25-feet of a door or window in any multi-unit residential building.

The evidence Benford accumulated was enough to establish the law, and also to get it permanently associated with his name. Nevertheless, Newcomb unquestionably discovered it first.
Benford's law was not properly explained until 1996, by the mathematician Theodore Hill, who showed that it applies throughout the universe, and even to alternative counting systems like base eight.
Nowadays it is widely used in forensic accounting because accounts that do not conform to Benford's law are more likely to have been faked.
The Arrhenius equation
Every high-school chemistry student is supposed to know this equation:
k = Ae-Eα/RT
It describes how the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction varies with temperature (T) and the reaction's activation energy Eα. But it can also be applied to a great many diverse phenomena - famously, the Arrhenius equation even allows you to tell the temperature by counting cricket chirps.
It is commonly called the Arrhenius equation after the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius, one of the key figures in physical chemistry, and the first person to predict that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would cause global warming.
However, Arrhenius was not the first person to propose the equation. It was put forward by the Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff in 1884, in his book Studies in Chemical Dynamics based on studies of many different chemical reactions.
Some five years later, Arrhenius provided a physical explanation for van 't Hoff's discovery when he came up with the concept of activation energy - the "kickstart" energy level that must be reached before a reaction can begin.
He acknowledged van 't Hoff in his paper, but the equation nevertheless became indelibly linked to him. Evidently "the Arrhenius-van 't Hoff equation" was just too much of a mouthful.
Halley's comet
This is a strange story. Contrary to popular belief, Edmond Halley did not discover the comet but, if anything, thinking that he did is to underestimate the value of his work on it.
The comet itself had been observed as far back as 240 BC, by Chinese astronomers, and it is possible that even earlier sightings were made. Johannes Kepler certainly saw it in 1607, and Halley himself saw it in 1682, making some rough observations.
Some years later, Halley realised that the comet he had seen was extremely similar to comets seen in 1607 and 1531. From this he deduced that the comet was periodic - that it returned to the vicinity of Earth about every 76 years. He published his results in the Royal Society's journal Philosophical Transactions, in 1705.
Other astronomers had suggested that comets might return periodically, but Halley was the first to correctly identify a comet that did so. He also predicted when the comet would return. His calculations had to be refined by a team of French mathematicians, but he wasn't far off. When the comet came back in 1758, 16 years after his death, it became known as Halley's comet.
In other words, the comet bears his name not because he discovered it, but because he was the first to predict its behaviour.
Edmond Halley is, in fact, one of science's forgotten heroes. In his time it was easier to do novel work in a wide range of different disciplines, but even taking that into account he was prodigious.
Among other things, he mapped the stars of the southern sky, built a diving bell, contributed to our understanding of the weather, explained why compasses do not always point to true north, and discovered that stars move relative to each other.
Halley even persuaded the prickly and publicity-shy Isaac Newton to publish the Principia Mathematica, the book in which he set out the laws of gravity and motion, incidentally deploying calculus to do so.
The book was published at Halley's expense, as the Royal Society had blown its budget on the epic History of Fish, which bombed.

The Starkville-Mississippi State University Symphony Orchestra is ready to bring the Christmas spirit to Golden Triangle residents with its annual Criss Christmas Concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church in Starkville.
Symphony conductor Michael Brown said the first half of Tuesday's program features a performance of the "Concerto Grosso No. 4" and "Organ Concerto in B Flat" by George Handel, as well as a contemporary piece by Brazilian composer Ney Rousauro.
"For the 'Concerto Grosso' — meaning small and large — there are a lot of nice textural things that happen as the orchestra is playing and our featured soloists will be Shandy Philips, Joe Ortigeura and Browne," he said. "During the contemporary piece, our concerto winner, Sawyer Cooper, will be featured and conducted by his teacher Jason Baker, and that will be fun."
Brown said the concert's second half will feature a unique opportunity for community members to join the MSU Concert Choir is singing the four most popular choruses from Handel's "Messiah."
"The orchestra will be doing some arias and the overture, but the four choruses will be done by the concert choir and we invite people to join us on stage," he said. "We had a great turnout last year and we hope to have more this year."
Brown said those interested in singing with the choir should come to a 6 p.m. rehearsal Tuesday night before the concert begins.
"We started a number of years ago and initially when we did it we had three evening of rehearsals, but we found that people couldn't commit to that many," he said. "Those interested shouldn't stay at home because they think they might mis a note, because will 200 people singing together it can be quite powerful. We want more emphasis on the community."
On the topic of Handel's masterpiece, Brown said he marveled at the fact of Handel composition the piece in only 26 days.
"I don't think I could copy it in 26 days, and I just don't know how a human could write that music without divine inspiration," he said. "People have been singing it for over 300 years, so it's stood the test of time pretty well."
With the Lee Hall continuing its renovations, Brown said the symphony orchestra is committed to performing at First Baptist Church for the next two years.
"They've been so great with us," he said. "The people at FBC Starkville have been wonderful hosts and the acoustics there are great, and we just really love playing there."
Brown said with the outstanding caliber of players in the orchestra he cannot wait to help spread some Christmas cheer with Tuesday's concert.
"We're all looking for that moment when Christmas comes," he said. "Tuesday will be a night of wonderful music and you'll be placed in the Christmas spirit."
Sponsored by the J.W. Criss Foundation, the Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra's annual Criss Christmas Concert 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church in Starkville.

ALBANY - Following a recent oil spill and the derailment of four train cars in Albany, there's a proposal to impose sanctions on those who fail to report spills.
County Executive Dan Mccoy says the laws need to get tougher, to protect the safety of residents.
He's proposing legislation that would impose criminal penalties for failing to report oil spills to Albany County within 30 minutes.
McCoy cited a recent oil spill at the Kenwood Yard at the Port of Albany in which four Canadian Pacific Railroad cars derailed.
He says the railroad waited five hours to report the incident.
He wants to impose up to a year in jail with a fine, plus civil sanctions of up to $250,000 dollars for each violation.
McCoy spoke at the Ezra Prentice Homes in Albany's South End, public housing right off the railroad tracks where oil cars sit near their homes and a playground.
There has been heightened concern over rail tank cars that carry crude oil after a series of fiery train crashes over the past year, including a massive explosion in Lac-Megantic that left 47 people dead.
There's also movement on the federal level now involving the same DOT-111 tank cars that sit on the tracks in Albany.

We started our week with fierce puddle splashing. Joe loves him some puddles!!!!
Tuesday afternoon, we had the inaugural ride of the power wheels Camaro. Abbey and Joe love cruising around the park together.
We love our mid-week bible study program at our friend's church. Here is Joe with her daughter, London.
At one point, the two of them were feeding each other cake. It was adorable.
Next week, I promise, I'll get a shot of the two of them hugging. It will melt your heart!
Abbey and Joe built a "roller coaster" together on Thursday with some building toys that we've collected from Wendy's kids meals. I love how well they are interacting and playing with one another lately. We are not without a little rivalry and disagreement, but it's mostly sibling love around here lately. So cute!
Unfortunately, on Friday afternoon, Jed, Joe, and I were in a one-car accident in the random sleet that hit our area. It was raining, and we had decided to drive to meet someone for a Craigslist trade. Rain turned to sleet really fast, and we hydroplaned on the ice. I was driving very slowly and carefully, but I couldn't save us from crashing. The road went out from under us and there we were, crashing into a tree in the ditch. This is a picture of one of my bruises. It was awful and scary, but Joe and Jed and I are all OK, Thank GOD. My car however. . . is not.
I just praise God that everyone is safe, and thank God for the great family of friends we have here in our neighborhood that helped us out on Friday and kept my spirits up over the weekend. I was really SORE and sad about the crash.
Abbey had her second dance class this weekend. She loves it!
After dance class, we went to Abbey's preschool program – Passport through America. It was a big party/festival type thing, in the gym at the Shipyard. There were booths with food, fun, and activities to represent all the regions of the US. Coincidentally (since we are moving to Alaska soon), Abbey's class worked on the Alaska/Hawaii booth!
Abbey and Joe's favorite part of the festival was definitely the petting zoo, though. They loved feeding the goats with us.
That was OUR Week. How was YOURS?

ONE person's waste is another's livelihood. And the same rule, it seems, applies in the microbial world: slow-growing strains of a bacterium found in our guts hold their own against faster-growing strains by feeding off their competitors' excreta.
As part of a series of experiments on bacterial evolution, researchers led by Paul Turner of Michigan State University in East Lansing grew hybrids of laboratory strains of
Instead, two strains settled into an apparently stable coexistence. When Turner looked more closely, he found that the two used very different strategies for survival. Every 24 hours, he took a small sample of the culture and transferred it into a fresh flask of broth rich in glucose. In this ...

CRESTVIEW — A proposal to increase the local sales tax to generate more money for storm water and drainage improvements could be delayed until 2015.
Okaloosa County Commissioners discussed the idea – put forth by Commissioner Dave Parisot in May – at their Tuesday meeting.
Parisot has urged the board to place the one-cent tax hike on the November general election ballot for approval by local voters.
Other commissioners said they want to move more slowly and suggested pushing the referendum to the spring of 2015 to coincide with the next municipal elections.
"I don't want us to rush to put something on a ballot to appear to be fixing a problem," Commissioner Nathan Boyles said. "... If we're going to engage in a long-term fix, let's take the time to do it right."
Commissioner Wayne Harris said the key to passing the referendum is winning over the cities and the general public.
"We have to be judicious about this, and we've also got to sell it," Harris said. "... We have to inform the public of what we're using (the money) for. We have to be very specific."
Commissioner Don Amunds said he was "leery of trying to cram" the referendum into the 90 days it would take to place it on the November ballot.
"I don't think we have enough details," he said.
Parisot expressed frustration with delaying the referendum and predicted, "this can will get kicked down the road."
He also said moving the referendum to 2015 could cost the county as much as $100,000 because municipal elections don't use as many polling places as countywide general elections and will require paying to open more.
Commissioners will discuss the proposal next at their June 17 meeting in Fort Walton Beach.
Under Parisot's proposal, the county and its nine municipalities would agree to offset the increase with a reduction of property tax rates if the referendum passes.
The sales tax hike is would provide an estimated $32.6 million in additional revenue, with about $21.8 million going to the county and about $10.8 million to be divided among the nine cities and towns.

Dead 2.0, the critical Web 2.0 site written by an anonymous blogger went offline earlier this week after pulling a Lieberman. A Lieberman being a site that goes offline due to excessive bandwidth use, causing the host to suspend the site like Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman experienced earlier this year in the run-up to the Democratic primary race against Ned Lamont.
Back to Dead 2.0: now the site has been password protected, forcing a login screen on anyone typing in the domain or attempting to visit the site through bookmark or search engine. It looks like "Skeptic" has chosen to disappear from the blogosphere. Will we hear more from the mystery blogger?
For those interested in getting caught up on this story by reading the Dead 2.0 archives, there are ways to do so. In most cases, Archive.org will have this content, but not in this case. But one site that does is Bloglines.
If you happen to know Dead 2.0's previous RSS feed URL, you could add that to your Bloglines subscriptions, then refresh the feed to show everything Bloglines has on file. It looks like this will take you back all the way to the very first post on dead20.com.
I bring this up not to cause any damage to Skeptic, but to point out that it's nearly impossible to erase the web's memory. I happen to mention one tactic that works today, but I'm sure there are plenty more for people with some technical skills and a little motivation.

Bloglines may have the archives, but if Skeptic asks them to delete them, writing from the domain dead20.com domain, they will, and they would be required to do so by the DMCA. He owns the copyright. I've had stuff deleted myself. You can also get stuff from mailing list archives and Google Groups taken off. You can also demand that people who quote e-mail from you delete it. It just takes some work to track all this stuff down. Again, a DMCA notification is easy and very effective.
Using the "noarchive" attribute in your HTML makes things a little easier. If Google doesn't show a cache, then the noarchive is working.
Also, a Google search for "copyright myths" turns up several good pages that debunk popular beliefs about copyright, fair use, e-mail, and the like.

Come to the New England Aquarium this summer and learn all about those beloved birds that fly underwater—penguins! There are more than 80 birds and three different species in our colony. With their signature waddles and festive attire, it's amazing to watch them bound around their island territories and rocket through the water of their 150,000-gallon exhibit.
But just wait until you learn their secrets. We have just what you need to become a penguinologist this summer! Here are two questions to get you started on your journey to explore the secret world of penguins. Peek into the hidden burrows where they care for their young. See all the tricks they have up their feathers.
Mystery #1: Do penguins have ears?
Yes! They are hidden under their feathers. Penguins have great hearing above and below the water.
Mystery #2: Do penguins sneeze?
Yes! Penguins can drink salt water, but the salt is removed from their bloodstream by a salt gland behind the eyes. Then they sneeze out the salt!
Ready for more?
Bring the family and be prepared for an adventure! The fun starts as soon as you enter the Aquarium. You'll receive a special Penguinology Adventure Guide with a series of informational pages that present a mysterious fact about penguins. Each page is soaked with fascinating tidbits about these animals. Plus, there's a mystery to be solved at the decoder stations tucked away throughout the Aquarium. The stations have a special light that makes the answer appear on the guide page before your eyes!
Penguin chick season will also be in full swing when you visit this summer. The Blue Planet Action Center will feature regular daily presentations where you'll be able to connect with the people in charge of caring for the chicks and their doting parents behind the scenes.
There are more than 80 penguins waiting to inspire your love of the blue planet like never before. Come learn about these amazing birds and discover how we can work together to help them survive in a changing world. Your next trip to the Aquarium will transform you into a penguinologist—one of penguins' many allies. Let the adventure begin!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Choconiverous" is an English slang word that's defined as having the tendency, when eating a chocolate Easter Bunny, to bite the head off first. I recommend that you adopt this direct approach in everything you do in the coming weeks. Don't get bogged down with preliminaries. Don't get sidetracked by minor details, trivial distractions, or peripheral concerns. It's your duty to swoop straight into the center of the action. Be clear about what you want and unapologetic about getting it. Read the rest of this entry »
