Dr. Martin A. Entin Lecture in the History of Medicine - An alternative history of human identity
David Armstrong, King's College, London. Every society has its creation story and the dominant one today is that of Darwinian evolution which, through the fossil record, identifies Man's origins tens of thousands of years ago. Alternative stories, however, are possible and this lecture uses textual records in the field of medicine to locate Man's corporal birth (and death) in the mid-19th century and the development of his (and her) subjectivity to late in the 20th century.

2016 NFL Draft Prospect Preview: Baylor Bears
Written by Mitch Militello, Analyst on June 8, 2015
In the first year of the College Football Playoff era, the boys down in Waco looked poised to be one of the four teams with a shot at the title. Unfortunately for them, they fell just short as they were named the No. 5 team in the selection committee's final rankings. All year, Art Briles offense put up video game numbers and they blew out the majority of teams on their schedule, only losing to West Virginia and Michigan State. As we head into the 2015 season, there is a bit of uncertainty as they must replace Bryce Petty at QB. If they can find a viable replacement, they look like they could be one of the top teams in the country yet again. Here is a list of the Baylor seniors that will make an impact this season and some of the Bears' top junior prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft. (read more…)

One of the longest-running television series has just been canceled! According to Deadline.com, NBC has made the decision to cancel Law & Order after 20 seasons on the air.
This comes as a shock since NBC execs recently alluded to bringing the show back for another season. But they decided in the end to keep the multiple spin-offs, including a new one that will come next year called Law & Order: Los Angeles.
The reason for the non-renewal was reportedly contingent on NBC getting a commitment from TNT to keep airing reruns in syndication. The show's ratings have also dropped.
The good thing is that at any time of the day you can pretty much flick your remote and find some version of L&O! R.I.P!

Proprietary Software
25 Comments
In early 2013 it was announced
Opera would be switching to Google's Chromium Engine
over its own internal web rendering engine it had been using up to that point. They switched to
Google's forked WebKit engine
and for about a year now have been doing
new Windows releases
while Linux was left out.
Fortunately, beginning today, a developer version of the new Chromium-powered Opera web-browser is now available for Linux users. The developer stream of Opera 24 is now available for Linux fans. Opera's testing has focused around 64-bit Ubuntu with Unity and the GNOME Shell.
Details on the Opera 24 for Linux release can be found via the
Opera Blog
. "Adding Linux to our browser line fulfills an important part of Opera's vision to shape an open, connected world. We want everyone to have fast and safe access to the web. Adding Linux opens up that possibility to more machines running the open-source operating system."

Fashion inspired by movies: Riya Sen Last Updated : 14 Apr 2013 05:39:37 PM IST File photo of Bollywood actress Riya Sen.
Yearning for more roles from Tollywood directors actor Riya Sen on Sunday said "I am a Bengali and not a foreigner."
"Come on, I am a Bengali, not a foreigner. Just that I am doing lot of works in Mumbai doesnot imply I am averse to good scripts here," Riya told media persons on the sidelines of a design institute event here.
"This is a preconceived notion of all Tollygunje film makers. I live in Mumbai and I do travel places for shows and events but I will come back and stay for days if any good project comes my way," she said recollecting how many Bengali directors said they would love to work with her but felt she was hard to get by.
Ria, who was present at the announcement launch of the Unitedworld Institute of Design (UID) the second campus in country after Ahmedabad, said "no idea why a sexy tag has stuck on me."
About her role in Rituparno Ghosh's Noukadubi, she said "as we met days after 'Chokher Bali' he discovered I am much younger than Raima.
"Noukadubi is a period film which will always be a milestone in my career. For the costumes in the movie, a reputed jeweller had made very differently styled and crafted articles," she said.
Riya Sen says fashion inspired by movies:
Riya, who would be seen in 'Zindagi 50 50' and 'Hai Rabba Main Kya Karoon?' this year said movies help a lot in influencing the fashion statements of individuals.
"Not everybody can watch a fashion show but today's youngsters carry off so well which I can see in the streets and places that I visit. As it is, people get influenced by actors and actresses and how they dress like and so films do play a role," she reasoned.
"In this century, the word fashion also goes with your confidence, how much self-assured you are and that is called style statement including the accessories you are wearing, more pertinently for a woman," she said when asked what fashion meant for a modern day girl.
Ria, who termed sibling Raima Sen as the 'Tollywood queen' here, said she drew fashion inspirations from her legendary grandmother Suchitra Sen and the late Royal Gayatri Devi.
"If they replicate the Ahmedabad experience as the second such institute in this part of country this will help the burgeoning entertainment industry in Bengal and east," she said about UID.
Ace designer Abhishek Dutta, mentor of UID, said the fashion designers here, who are the most aesthetically creative in the country, will get boost if a place comes up which brings out designers with global aptitude.

You know when you want to back up that urban legend with something official like a press release? Well, after spending all weekend listening to Outkast covers, I remembered how Polaroid issued a press release admonishing all those who were suddenly quick to shake their Polaroid pictures, as "Hey Ya!" urges. Well I couldn't find that press release, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist (I'd just have to leave my Philip Marlowe hat on a little longer); however, I did cruise through the Polaroid...

I don't tend to think of myself as being particularly tied to brands, but after reading my friend Lyza's Brand Affinity post, it occurred to me that I might have a few brand affinities. I define brand affinity as any special connection to a line of products, and they tend to fall into two categories: first, there are brands that I seek out when buying a new widget (as in, "Need a new mouse, and my old Microsoft mouse was great..."); second, there are brands that I actively follow to see what new widgets...

Every time I check my spam folder, I'm amused by the subject lines.

I can usually distinguish the randomized stuff from subjects written by a human -- today I received the clearly human subjects: "Customer Notification," "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!," "talk to me," and so on....

Hamburglar, one of Ronald McDonald's original McDonaldland posse, was first voiced by Howard Morris, and thereafter played in commercials alternately by Frankie Delfino and Gaetano Vicini, aka Tom Vicini (also a stunt double who paints religious murals--the one pictured is a piece he co-created for a Milwaukee church in 1986).

Adfreak is reporting today that Hawaii's been running a very strange, pro-smoking campaign in Japan.

But why spread the mixed message? Well, for more Yen, of course.

After buying an iPhone, I have begun to wonder where consumer purchases fit into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Once those needs are met, the (sane) human seeks safety, then love and belonging, then esteem, then at the top level: self-actualization -- this is where creativity, morality,... READ ON

Last year, a Chinese magazine with ties to the Communist party identified "eight guardian warriors" – U.S. companies that, it said, "have seamlessly infiltrated China."
Since then, a number of the "guardian warriors," which include IBM, Google, Intel, Apple and Microsoft, have run into problems in China, one of the world's biggest tech markets. In many cases, it isn't clear why. Here's a rundown of how the companies are faring. Read More »

Evans and Wurster, both executives of the Boston Consulting Group, argue that the Internet demands new business strategies because it provides companies tremendous "reach" for customers without sacrificing "richness," or the quality of the information about products and services. The book shows how some businesses--Microsoft and Intuit in personal finance, Dell Computer in retailing, and the Automotive Network Exchange in manufacturing supply--are thriving amid a rapid expansion of connectivity and the widespread acceptance of new technical standards on the World Wide Web. Clearly written and tough-minded, Blown to Bits is required reading for business leaders, entrepreneurs, strategists, and others concerned about the new economics of the information age. --Dan Ring

A Snowboarding video by whatwewantfilms - 4,480 views
Early january, it's been snowing pretty much every day so we headed to Avoriaz to shoot some pillows in the forest. The crew consisted of Le Serge, Tyler, Coincoin, Lil Jo Baisamy (new aka: BoB) and Vannessa photoging.
Tyler knew for some spots in the forest he had shot a few years ago so we headed straight there to send the thunder!!

Kendall and Kylie's Best Beauty Looks!
Props to K-Stew for wanting to embrace the hair trend of the moment—skinny braids—but could she at least consider washing her locks before trying one out?!

We're not sure what's worse here, the pale-pink "duck face" lips or the mega-teased 'do. Hey, Miles? Less is more, m'kay?

Minnesota Wild
Wild Blog: Tale Of The Tape – Minnesota Wild Vs. St. Louis Blues
The Minnesota Wild ended the 2014-15 season Saturday with a 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Minnesota will have anywhere from four to seven chances to avenge that defeat over the next couple weeks as the Wild and the Blues face-off in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So which team has the edge? Let's go to the tale of the tape.
Wild Looking For Koivu To Step Up In Playoffs
The Minnesota Wild know its first-round opponent in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the St. Louis Blues, well. Do they know themselves well enough? That's the job of leadership and in the case of the Wild, its captain is Mikko Koivu.
After Midseason Arrival, Dubnyk Still Going Strong With Wild
The Minnesota Wild were flailing three months ago, when a potential remedy for their problems was located in the desert. Devan Dubnyk was so eager to help he took a cross-country red-eye flight to meet them.
Injury Has Cooke's Availability In Question For Wild
Minnesota Wild left wing Matt Cooke has an injury that has clouded his availability for Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues. Cooke did not practice Tuesday, due to what Wild coach Mike Yeo would only describe as "discomfort."
Looking To Watch Thursday's Wild Game? Head To Xcel Energy Center

Zucker's 2 Goals Lead Wild Over Predators 4-2
Jason Pominville scored with 2:03 remaining in regulation to give the Minnesota Wild a 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.
Burnsville Man Charged With Selling Fake Wild Tickets
The Minnesota Wild are going to the NHL playoffs, but police say they're worried some fans are being taken for a ride. Police believe there may be at least 40 cases of fraudulent tickets, and they think 28-year-old Ahmed Dahir of Burnsville is behind the tickets.
Simple Switch Producing Big Results For Wild's Vanek
You can point to Devan Dubnyk as the biggest reason the Wild are in the playoffs. And you'd be right. But give Thomas Vanek a lot of credit, too. Sure, point to the arrival of Dubnyk for Minnesota's resurgence.
Police: Be Cautious Of Counterfeit Wild Playoff Tickets
Police are warning fans to be cautious so their enthusiasm doesn't turn them into victims as the Minnesota Wild clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Tuesday night. Police arrested a Minneapolis man who is accused of purchasing a few Minnesota Wild tickets on Ticketmaster, and turning them into dozens of counterfeit ones.

Win and you're in. Sounds easy enough right? But when it comes to the Minnesota Wild it seems nothing is easy. The Wild had a chance to clinch a playoff spot Monday night in front of a sell-out crowd at the Xcel Energy Center, but the team couldn't score and ended up getting shut out 2-0 by the Winnipeg Jets.
4 Things To Know: Duke Wins NCAA Final, Rand Paul Enters Presidential Race & More
Here's a look at the four stories you need to know for Tuesday, April 7, 2015.
With 2-0 Win By Rival Jets, Wild Can't Clinch
Blake Wheeler and Drew Stafford scored, Ondrej Pavelec made 32 saves and the Winnipeg Jets gave their playoff push a big boost with a 2-0 victory over Minnesota on Monday, preventing the Wild from clinching a wild-card spot.
Wild Can Clinch Playoff Spot With Monday Win
Mikko Koivu will be back in the Wild lineup Monday night after missing Saturday's game with a scratched eye.
Wild Blog: Wild Week Ahead For Minnesota
We are entering the final week of the regular season in the NHL and the Minnesota Wild is looking to lock up another post-season berth. Right now Minnesota currently holds the first wild card spot in the Western Conference with 96 points. With four games left to play in the season, any combination of picking up two points (wins or overtime/shootout losses) should be enough to clinch a playoff berth.
Red Wings Beat Wild 3-2 In 8th Round Of Shootout
Darren Helm scored in the eighth round of a shootout, and the Detroit Red Wings outlasted the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Saturday night. Helm came down the slot, cut to his forehand and let go with a low wrist shot. Officials on the ice ruled that Devan Dubnyk stopped the puck in time; however, video review showed the stop came after the puck crossed the goal line.
Wild's Koivu Out With Eye Injury
Minnesota Wild captain Mikko Koivu was a late scratch from Saturday night's game with the Detroit Red Wings because of an eye injury. He is listed day to day.
Wild Wary Of Letting Up With Playoff Spot Not Quite Secure
The Minnesota Wild have put themselves on solid footing for the playoffs. They're not in yet, though. The determination and desperation they've played with the last few months must be maintained to clinch a wild-card spot and have momentum for the postseason.
Miller's Goal Gives Rangers 3-2 Win Vs. Wild, Division Title
J.T. Miller scored the go-ahead goal in the third period, less than a minute after Minnesota tied the game, to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Wild on Thursday night that clinched the Metropolitan Division title.
Wild Back-Up Goalies Aim To Stay Sharp Without Playing Time
They have experience and track records, and they probably won't play a significant minute the rest of the season or in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That's because the two Minnesota Wild goal tenders are behind Devan Dubnyk, and as Mike Max explains, all they can do is prepare and wait.
Wild Hosting 'Hockey Helping Kids' Thursday At Xcel Energy Center
This Thursday at Xcel Energy Center, the NHLers won't be the only ones waiting for the face-off. Hockey Helping Kids was started five years ago as a way for two companies, CommVault and Microsoft, to give back to the local community.
Wild Get 4 Days Off, Say 'Rest Is A Weapon'
Yes, it's weird that in the stretch run of the season, as teams battle for playoff spots and positioning, the Wild get a four-day break. They won't play again until Thursday.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
22 May 2013 15:59 GMT | US & Canada, Russia, United States
An FBI agent has shot and killed a Florida man who "turned violent" while being questioned about the Boston Marathon bombings, the bureau has said.A friend of the dead man told the Orlando Sentinel and Orlando television stations that he was 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev of Orlando, a Chechen who had previously lived in Boston.
Two brothers identified by the FBI as suspects in the April 15 bombings were also of Chechen origin.
The FBI said in a statement that a special agent, "acting on the imminent threat posed by the individual, responded with deadly force. The individual was killed and the special agent was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries".
It said the shooting occurred in Orlando, Florida, while the special agent and other law enforcement agents were interviewing the man about the blasts that killed three people and injured 264 others at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
"A violent confrontation was initiated by the individual," the FBI said, without providing further details.
Todashev's friend, Khusn Taramiv, said Todashev knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were mixed martial-arts fighters, but had no connection to the bombing.
"Back when he used to live in Boston, right, they used to hang out," Taramiv told Central Florida News 13.
"He met them few times 'cause he was MMA fighter the other guy was boxer, right. They just knew each other that's it," he said.
Multiple questioning
The shooting occurred at an Orlando apartment complex where several people of Chechen descent lived. Taramiv said Todashev and others in the complex had been questioned several times by law enforcement agents since the day the Tsarnaev brothers were identified as the bombing suspects.Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a gunfight with police. His brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was found hiding in a boat in Watertown, Massachusetts, four days after the bombings. He was charged with crimes that could carry the death penalty if he is convicted.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been on a US government database of potential terrorism suspects and the United States had twice been warned by Russia that he might be an Islamic militant, according to US security officials.
In Florida, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said Todashev had been arrested on May 4 and charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm. Details about the circumstances of the arrest were not immediately available.
Source: Agencies
In message on boat, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said marathon blasts were punishment for "crimes against Muslims", CBS News says.

NFL officially moves kickoffs up to the 35-yard-line, makes all scoring plays reviewable - 0 Comments
The NFL has just announced a few rule changes, though they are far less drastic than we were talking about originally. The most notable came on the kickoff rule that Bill Belichick opposed yesterday.
Here are the changes just voted on:
-- Kickoffs will now begin at the 35-yard-line instead of 30, which should lead to more touchbacks. Apparently, the average kickoff last year landed at the 6, so maybe it won't be as bad as we think.
-- The two-man wedge is still allowed, as there had been talk of banning it.

So I noticed that even though I've been a little emotional and moody this TOM, I really don't feel bloated and nasty like I normally do. I did take myself off of the Nuvaring, which my cardiologist said was good - he doesn't want me on any hormo... Read more

Louis Agassiz: Creator of American Science
A new biography sheds light on some of the 'undelightful' aspects of the life and work of eminent Swiss zoologist, glaciologist, and paleontologist Louis Agassiz.
In the introduction to his wonderful new biography Louis Agassiz: Creator of American Science, Christoph┬ĀIrmscher carefully lists some of the more ŌĆ£undelightfulŌĆØ aspects of the life and work of┬Āthe eminent Swiss zoologist, glaciologist, and paleontologist: ŌĆ£his shabby treatment of┬Āhis first wife, whom he left when he traveled to the new world; his relentless resistance┬Āto Darwinism; and perhaps most of all his reprehensible belief that America belonged to┬Āwhites only.ŌĆØ And it doesnŌĆÖt get much better from there.
Agassiz (born Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz), a world-renowned and celebrated Swiss-born scientist whose name, more than 100 years later, would grace street signs,┬Āschools, and even a mountain range in Switzerland, recently had his reputation almost┬Āsingle-handedly felled by a Cambridge, Mass., eighth-grader. The student, who┬Āattended the Agassiz School there, discovered AgassizŌĆÖs abhorrent racial views in an┬Āedition of biologist Stephen A. GouldŌĆÖs The Mismeasure of Man." The horrified student,┬ĀIrmscher writes, ŌĆ£suggested that the school change its name, which it did.ŌĆØ
Irmscher, a professor of English at Indiana University, asks some very difficult questions┬Āabout AgassizŌĆÖs legacy at the onset of this biography. Despite the bookŌĆÖs rather generous subtitle, Irmscher ultimately cannot reconcile AgassizŌĆÖs numerous and significant scientific achievements with his abhorrent views on evolution┬Āand race.
For example, Agassiz was an early and vociferous proponent of such┬Ābiological quackery as polygenism (the idea that races of humans stemmed from distinct┬Āand different ancestors and thus were of separate origin) as well as miscegenation, or racial admixture within a society. Agassiz could also be called a prototypical 19th-century ŌĆ£racial philosopherŌĆØ because of his curious obsession with comparative brain size and cranial capacity, and their relationship to intelligence among races of humans.
Agassiz, always the charismatic showman,┬Ācompounded the damage to his own reputation by regaling attendees at a Charleston, S.C., conference with his racial sophistry, which unfortunately encouraged and enabled┬Āmuch of AmericaŌĆÖs pro-slavery faction. His patrons included the notorious Alabama┬Āphysician Josiah C. Nott, who, as the owner of nine slaves, sought out AgassizŌĆÖs counsel to validate his own theories about the subjugation of blacks through slavery.┬ĀNott infamously stated that those indentured achieved their greatest perfection, physical┬Āand moral (as well as longevity), in a state of slavery. Agassiz and other scientists who┬Āespoused polygenism also emboldened colonialists, who believed that the inherent superiority of the white race gave credence to KiplingŌĆÖs ŌĆ£white manŌĆÖs burden" ŌĆō the┬Āobligation and duty of whites to rule over other, presumably inferior, races.
AgassizŌĆÖs youth in Switzerland had a powerful influence on his own attitudes toward his family, students, and colleagues. His autocratic father was a merchant with both a┬Āmanipulative personality and a provincial worldview. He sought┬Āto control his sonŌĆÖs career path by repeatedly suggesting that studying to┬Ābecome a zoologist (with two doctoral degrees, no less) was a waste of┬Ā time and┬Āmoney. AgassizŌĆÖs mother was also aggressive, perhaps even abusive. The pressure she exerted on AgassizŌĆÖs beautiful and artistically talented wife┬ĀC├®cilie (Silli) Braun to subject herself to her husbandŌĆÖs ambitions left Silli feeling helpless┬Āand abandoned.
Eventually ŌĆō in an act Irmscher likens to that of a ŌĆ£modern womanŌĆØ ŌĆō Silli took their children and left Agassiz. In September, 1846,┬ĀAgassiz, whose writings and traveling lectures on glaciers, Brazilian fishes, and other┬Āexotic and arcane topics had brought him worldwide acclaim, would leave Europe for┬Āgood to accept a professorship at Harvard University. And Silli, who once illustrated her husbandŌĆÖs published works and shared his professional enthusiasms,┬Āwould die in loneliness and despair two years later.
AgassizŌĆÖs second wife, Elizabeth Cabot Cary, fared considerably better. Born into┬ĀŌĆ£blue-bloodŌĆØ Boston in 1822, ŌĆ£LizzieŌĆØ Cary had a powerful intellect rivaling that of Agassiz. She employed her intelligence to her future husbandŌĆÖs advantage ŌĆō as well as her own ŌĆō by┬Āediting his books and other writings. But hidden underneath the scholarly veneer and┬Āthe "strenuously rational language" of their correspondence, Elizabeth had a ŌĆ£true,┬Ālasting affectionŌĆØ for Agassiz. Following their marriage in 1850, she sought to realize her┬Ākeen interest in education by starting a private school for young girls in the attic of their┬ĀQuincy Street home. Twenty-two years after AgassizŌĆÖs death, she became the first┬Āpresident of Radcliffe College. In between, she accompanied┬ĀAgassiz on his Charleston lectures and assisted him in gathering specimens on the┬ĀGalapagos Islands. And in her attempt to solidify her late husbandŌĆÖs legacy, she also┬Āauthored a comprehensive and well-regarded biography of Agassiz.
Alexander von Humboldt, the pre-eminent zoologist during AgassizŌĆÖs youth, also had┬Āa profoundly important influence on AgassizŌĆÖs career. Mentor, patron, and cheerleader┬Āto Agassiz, von Humboldt had royal patrons, which gave him wealth and added to his┬Āprestige. He would write fawning letters to Agassiz, and his ŌĆ£scionŌĆØ would respond┬Āwith equally fawning, almost obsequious, replies. But if anyone could conjure┬Āinsecurities in Agassiz, it was von Humboldt, whom Irmscher likens to AgassizŌĆÖs ŌĆ£surrogate┬ĀfatherŌĆØ ŌĆō the one who really saw AgassizŌĆÖs scholarly potential and unselfishly nurtured and┬Āfinanced it.
AgassizŌĆÖs anxiety about von HumboldtŌĆÖs towering legacy was never more in┬Āevidence than when Agassiz was asked to prepare a series of lectures at Harvard on┬Āthe occasion of what would have been von HumboldtŌĆÖs 100th birthday in 1869. Agassiz fretted about every detail, and was adamant that it be carried off perfectly ŌĆō in┬Āother words, to his own satisfaction.
AgassizŌĆÖs career-long competition with English naturalist Charles Darwin was focused on a few distinct areas of contention, including DarwinŌĆÖs theories of evolution and natural┬Āselection, in which Darwin emphasized an evolutionary process for the adaptation of┬Āspecies dependent on their mobility. Agassiz, although particularly religious,┬Ābelieved that though man was mobile, species of animals were not, and that they┬Ādeveloped where God placed them.
Darwin, ŌĆ£a sharp observer of other peopleŌĆÖs foibles,ŌĆØ saw┬ĀAgassizŌĆÖs work as ŌĆ£contemptible rubbishŌĆØ and also compared him to one of the jellyfish┬ĀAgassiz obsessively researched and chronicled: ŌĆ£weird, infinitely interesting,┬Ācapable of inflicting a certain amount of harm, but destined ultimately to fade into┬Āinsubstantiality.ŌĆØ Regarding AgassizŌĆÖs Charleston folly, Darwin sarcastically wrote to┬Āhis cousin William Darwin Fox, ŌĆ£Agassiz lectures in the US in which he has been┬Āmaintaining the doctrine of several species ŌĆō much, I daresay, to the comfort of the slave-holding Southerns.ŌĆØ
Over his academic career, Agassiz earned another unfortunate reputation: that of a┬Āstingy, domineering, and credit-stealing professor who both alienated and smothered┬Āthe ambitions of legions of students and research assistants. Here, Irmscher has┬Āexhaustively examined numerous letters and journals (the book contains 44 pages┬Āof endnotes) of former prot├®g├®s such as Charles Girard and ├ēdouard Desor, who┬Āworked and studied with Agassiz at the University of Neuch├ótel in Switzerland, and┬ĀHenry James Clark and Addison Emery Verrill, who were both assistants to Agassiz at┬ĀHarvard. AgassizŌĆÖs rancorous yet fascinating episodes with these young men were marked by common themes of professional jealousy, theft of what would now be┬Ācalled ŌĆ£intellectual property,ŌĆØ and bitter personal attacks.
Particularly revealing (as well as heartbreaking) is the case of Clark, who toiled in┬Āpenury within AgassizŌĆÖs shadow for years as an ŌĆ£AdjunctŌĆØ professor helping to organize┬ĀAgassizŌĆÖs career-long ambition, the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. Clark,┬Āshortchanged both in credit and in remuneration, was eventually pushed out of his┬Āposition by the Harvard Corporation after a very public quarrel with Agassiz. And in┬Āthe case of Girard ŌĆō who came to regret following his ŌĆ£flawed masterŌĆØ Agassiz from┬ĀSwitzerland to America and eventually defected to Washington D.C.ŌĆÖs┬ĀSmithsonian, headed by Spencer Fullerton Baird ŌĆō Agassiz could not help but badmouth┬Āhis former student to Baird, saying that Girard had ŌĆ£no judgment,ŌĆØ was ŌĆ£obstinate as┬Āa mule,ŌĆØ and needed to be led with ŌĆ£a high hand and kept in an entirely subordinate┬Āposition.ŌĆØ
When it comes to his books, AgassizŌĆÖs "├ētudes sur les Glaciers" (1840), is┬Āoutstanding, not only for its scholarship, but also for its exceptionally beautiful,┬Ālithographed atlas volume. But for all its beauty and scientific importance, the name┬Āof AgassizŌĆÖs friend and fellow glaciologist, Karl Friedrich Schimper, is absent from its┬Āpages. Even the initial use of the term ŌĆ£ice ageŌĆØ (eitzeit), Agassiz cribbed from┬ĀSchimper. As Irmscher asserts, this was ŌĆ£the first prominent instance of the cavalier,┬Āunattributed use of other peopleŌĆÖs ideas that, in the eyes of AgassizŌĆÖ critics, would┬Ābecome a hallmark of his career.ŌĆØ
And in a supreme act of hypocrisy added to what┬ĀIrmscher terms ŌĆ£a similar mix of ruthlessness and ... naivet├®,ŌĆØ Agassiz, who thought┬Āthat another, contemporary author, Jean de Charpentier, had pre-empted his "├ētudes," wrote of his ŌĆ£disappointmentŌĆØ that Charpentier ŌĆ£hadnŌĆÖt used his [AgassizŌĆÖs] observations┬Āin order to establish ŌĆśsynonymyŌĆÖ between ŌĆśyour theory and mine.ŌĆÖŌĆØ Embarrassment was┬Āobviously not in AgassizŌĆÖs lexicon.
There is no question that AgassizŌĆÖs shadow looms large in numerous scientific┬Ādisciplines. But IrmscherŌĆÖs devastating new appraisal pushes Agassiz out of that shadow and into the klieg lights ŌĆō leaving all the┬Āhagiographic and illusive imagery behind. In the book's epilogue, Irmscher writes, ŌĆ£The history of┬Āscience is unforgiving; it remembers those who were right and commits to the dustbin┬Āthose who were wrong. And Agassiz certainly was, dead wrong, about evolution and┬Āabout race.ŌĆØ What this groundbreaking book distills is ugly and very disturbing; but┬Āultimately, it is the necessary and timely exposure of a great man who in truth really┬ĀwasnŌĆÖt.

Easy WordPress Parallax Slider is a wordpress plugin with CSS3 and jQuery. Drag n drop admin functionality to set the show order of slides.
The plugin has some good options, although it would be nice if it included more than just a top margin for placement of heading, content, etc. It would also be nice if there were a few more options for the 'read more' button.
The biggest issue is that when you place this on the same page as a woocommerce product slider or even a google maps widget, it will break it all. Rendering this unusable unless it is on it's own. Which is sad because it really is a nice plugin.

Housing market shows upward trend
Housing sales are picking up in Henrico County, as they are across the greater Richmond real estate market, according to a Long & Foster market report.
Chesterfield, Henrico, Goochland and Hanover counties, in addition to the City of Richmond, experienced positive trends in home sales and median sale price compared to October of last year, while inventory continued to tighten throughout the entire Richmond region.
Goochland County led the region in the increase in number of homes sold, experiencing a 43 percent increase over the previous year. Compared to October 2011, Henrico County saw an increase of 16 percent in home sales. Median sale price increased throughout the region with a year-over-year increase of one percent in Henrico.
Active inventory decreased by more than 20 percent, on average, across the Richmond region. Richmond City saw the largest decline of inventory at 28 percent compared to last year, while Henrico County experienced the second largest decline at 24 percent.
Houses continued to sell quickly throughout the Richmond region in October. Days on Market (DOM) in Richmond City was 58 days while Henrico and Chesterfield counties saw an average DOM of 63 days and 65 days, respectively. According to the Long and Foster report (compiled from residential real estate transactions within specific geographic regions, not just Long & Foster sales), the remainder of the region saw homes sell within an average of four months.
"The Richmond housing market again followed an upward trend as historically low interest rates continued to boost consumer confidence in the real estate market in October," said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of The Long & Foster Companies.
Detwiler added that while the Richmond housing market is experiencing healthy stabilization and growth, tightening inventory can be expected to continue to push home prices up.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

lol this vid is pretty cool
lol this soooooooooooooooooooo VENASAUR!
Awesome, I mean Venasaur!
Ash never really admitted why he kept it at Pikachu...
Oh God...
I was laughing so hard that I couldn't stop watching this....I kept watching it over and over and I managed to injure myself somehow. It hurts when I laugh now. But even still, oh fucking God 10/10.
I don't even play Skyrim but Solar beam to the knee? Funny shit. xD
My favorite part has to be buff Pikachu though, I wish I could freeze frame that and use it as my desktop picture, lol!
I always review some flash with a 10/10 because all you people out there have creative minds. Here's my posotive judgement.
The over-exaggeration of Pikachu can make the players think, "Venosaur got hit plenty of times with a lighting bolt while pikachu took a solar beam to the knee (I just noticed that what I said about pikachu taking a solar beam to the knee is just like take an arrow to the knee). Damn this bloody over-exaggerater"
As you are, Egoraptor, you make parodies of many things including this. Making a parody of something can screw a players mind about what normally would happen.
Talking organisms are entertaining for all ages, so smart.
Pikachu had over-exaggerated with a lecture to the Venosaur and to ash. So pretty entertaining.
This is all my reviews for now. Private message me for more judgements.
haha this is what its like if you played this game when you were.... um.... out of mind? This was great, and i watched it so mny times and i could not stop laughing every time.

I am one of the developers of SuperSync. I can answer any questions about it. A trial is available for Mac and Windows. If you have any questions, I around to answer them. We're very excited about this release.
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 21, 2011 at 5:01 PM (CST)
Bought it to sync to big libraries with partly identical files. Works great with all the filter criterias you could set. I could easily identify what needs to be synced and what not.
I am very exited about the new duplicate inspector. It was always a problem when I changed the attributes of files (e.g. album name), which made it hard to sync with the other library and not generating duplicates with different names.
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 22, 2011 at 5:39 AM (CST)
Bought the software; it's ok. I expected it to keep 2 or more libraries identical. That does not happen in reality. I copied the same library (through explorer) to 2 different computers, started itunes and super sync on both and got different results from super sync (since all of the files are identical, should I not have to sync?) Great effort and hopefully will do what I need someday.
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 23, 2011 at 8:05 PM (CST)
Also, I lost 34 playlists. Suggestion for next rev: have an option to keep a master library and all others are copies, the "read-only" function is does not work correctly.
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 23, 2011 at 8:14 PM (CST)
Hi L.T. Spongebob! =)
SuperSync can:
- keep your libraries synced (with the same tracks on different computers). Example, Library 1 and Library 2 have the same tracks.
- import one library with another. Example, Library 1 has its own tracks but then adds tracks from Library 2, Library 2 stays the same
- merge two libraries together. Example, Library 1 has X tracks, Library 2 has Y tracks, then Library 1 and 2 have X+Y tracks
Regardless what you want to do, SuperSync can show you both Libraries and their content. At that point, you can use our 'Get', 'Put', and 'Sync' actions to move sync your content.
Regarding Playlists… playlist syncing is supported provided Library 1 and Library 2 are both iTunes based libraries.
If you're having problems sync'ing your libraries or with seeing your playlists, please contact our support team via the SuperSync website. SuperSync. We're happy to help!

Hi. Can I use this to export smart playlists from iTunes and import them into some other music player like say songbird?
